If you are going to use the Green in Uptown have a 2nd option as it is a possibility that you will be asked to leave the property since it is privately owned by Wachovia Bank. I have shot there 3 times and been asked to leave twice.

It is a great location but be aware of that risk.

Your main focus should be your subjects. use fill flash if needed take a friend up town and shoot at different locations.shoot different angles .and try to keep it simple don't take a lot of gear if you don't need it.know one has to know its your first time .just practice with the gear u have every day until your shoot.
