WHAT TO BRING ON PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS:

  • To get the most from your course, please note the following:
  • You will need your camera.  Ensure it has fresh/fully charged batteries and a spare battery is recommended.
  • You will need your fully-detailed camera instruction manual (it’s worth checking your manual – sometimes the printed one you receive only contains basic facts and there’s a fully detailed manual on the CD that came with the camera, in which case bring the CD too).  If you bring a hot-shoe mounted flash or other accessories, please bring the instruction manual too.
  • Memory card - it is essential that you start the day with an empty, preferably newly formatted, memory card.  This is to minimize downloading time to the computers, so that everyone has the opportunity to view their own photos.  We will use card readers to transfer your images to our computers, but in the event that we are not able to do this successfully, please bring your camera to computer data cable too.
  • For SLR users, please don’t set your camera to shoot RAW images, as they will make downloading too slow.  If you want to shoot RAW, please select RAW plus jpeg. (Sigma users - if you are not able to shoot jpeg, please notify us in advance of the workshop).
  • A camera bag is useful for protecting your camera and equipment when outdoors, and a transparent plastic bag and some sticky tape make a good, temporary waterproof cover for your camera, and an umbrella will protect both you and your equipment on wet days.
  • Bring a tripod (full height) if you have one.
  • A notebook and pen/pencil will be needed.
  • Dress in warm, comfortable clothing for outdoor sessions. A waterproof/ windproof top will be useful.
  • Comfortable but strong footwear is advised for photographing outdoors.
  • A garden kneeler or similar for getting low for some photos.
