"The camera for an artist is just another tool. It is no more mechanical than a violin if you analyze it. Beyond the rudiments, it is up to the artist to create art, not the camera." - Brett Weston

What to bring to a course

Each course description (see Courses) includes details of what to bring.

 

Before you come then do fully charge your camera's battery and if you have a spare battery then do charge it and bring it along; if you don't have a spare battery then its worth bringing your battery charger along.

 

Ensure you have at least one memory card with enough capacity to hold a couple of hundred images. We can provide spare memory cards if you let us know in advance.

 

Also, if you do have your camera's instruction book then do bring that along as well.
