What to Bring:
• Digital Camera, extra lens if SLR (single lens reflex)
• Digital Media Card(s) for your camera. PLEASE bring a blank card…no previous photos on the card. You can plan on taking at least 100 photos in an individual session so have a card of appropriate size.
• The instruction manual that came with your camera
• Laptop computer (please let me know in advance if you use a MAC)
• Tripod and cable release
• Digital Media Card Reader: These cost usually under $20. and have several slots that can accept different media cards for copying your photos to your computer. I will provide a software for editing your photos that we will all use in class during the weekend. You can remove it from your computer if you choose after the class.
• Blank CD-RW to copy material from instructor and to save your files. This CD is different than the kind you just copy music to...please note that the label will say CD-RW...Read-Write, meaning you can put photos on this CD and copy them somewhere else, erase things, etc.

FYI:
Magic Hours - when the light is low in the sky you have better natural lighting for shooting photographs.
