Assignment 1:
Create an account on RHS
On-Line and join the Digital Photography class.
Assignment 2: Get a digital camera.
I have three cameras we can share but it's better if
you have your own. We'll spend some time in class learning about
cameras and end up with a suggested list for you to use. You shoule be
able to get a nice camera for less than $300.
Where to
buy
your camera in Portland:
Camera Suggestions:
Please purchase a battery charger and rechargeable
batteries if your camera does not come with a charger. You should also
consider buying an inexpensive tripod. I have a couple in class that I
can loan out but you'll enjoy having your own.
Students are not required to buy cameras for this course. I do recommend
that they have their own cameras. In terms
of what is learned
and the enjoyment that comes from photography, $300 for a digital
camera
is a good investment. My daughter sends me photos from college
frequently. I'll
never regret getting her a camera. ;-) Mr. Nelson
Some suggested cameras:
Coming soon...
Favorite eBay camera:
Canon
G2 (4 mp, lithium, full controls, very sturdy & reliable) <
$300
Short list of features you'll want to have:
- 2 mega pixel resolution
minimum
- Lithium batteries are
best.
- AA battery charger if
you don't have lithium batteries...
- Optical zoom is more
important than digital zoom.
- At least 64mb memory
card - buy an extra one if you need to.
- Ability for manual
exposure settings is important.
- Get a case to protect
your camera.
- Save some money for a
tripod.
