I was able to start shooting our portrait assignment on Friday, and I'm very happy with my results so far.  My friend Chloe and I drove to a golf course in Sayville and got there just in time to catch the sunset.  We were absolutely freezing, but it was worth it.  The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that some of my pictures are a little dark due to the lack of light we had, but I got a few silhouetted shots that I'm pretty confident about.  I had to take some nature shots as well because the sunset was just so beautiful.  I can't wait to start editing these a little more in Photoshop.
