You will need the folowing items to take advantage of this course...

1. A film or digital camera with controls for f/stop and shutter speeds.
2. Email address and access to the internet.
3. The desire to be a really good photographer!

If you don't own a professional camera, borrow an older Nikon or Canon (or a similar SLR type) film camera. These are perfect for the course.

If you want to own a new digital camera, consider the Canon XSi, Nikon D40 or similar type Digital SLR models. Also consider purchasing a two gigabyte (or more) memory card for shooting RAW, if you don't yet have one. The prices on memory have come way down.

Recommended Cameras

For those using film cameras, we recommend you find a professional lab near you. Many pro photo labs offer discounts to students enrolled in photography classes - so mention that you are taking a course and get to know the people processing your film.
