Equipment Checklist:
You will find incredible value from this course with whatever type of camera you have to hand… as our Photography Fundamentals will improve your photography across the board.
However if you’re looking to equip yourself with additional tools, I can recommend that the following items will be handy through the course to help you achieve even better photos through the course.
Keep in mind these items are nice-to-haves… and are my recommendations if you’re looking to upgrade or expand your gear. Do not feel like it’s necessary to purchase anything additionally.
- DSLR/Mirrorless Camera on which you can manually adjust the Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO Settings
- A lens with a wide aperture (low f-stop number). A great budget option that is very popular is the 50mm 1.8 ‘Nifty Fifty’ Lens
- A Tripod. Any tripod whether large or small, that you can sit your camera on will help in some of our challenges.
- An external card reader. (These cost about $10-$15 from online or an electrical store) and will help you transfer your images from camera to your computer.
- Editing Software. It’s very handy to be able to crop your images, prepare them for uploading online. You may use the photo editor that comes with your PC/Mac for these simple tasks, or you might wish to look at a photography editing program such as Adobe Lightroom Classic. We will talk more about these options in the course.
