Photo Equipment
A digital SLR with interchangeable lenses is a plus but not a necessity. The bare minimum is a camera that can: shoot RAW images, have a manual and aperture priority exposure setting. Note: You can still participate and shoot without these features, but you will be severely limited in the quality of your images and your ability to capture them effectively.
You will also need to bring your own computer, one that is strong enough to run Adobe Photoshop.
You will also need Adobe Photoshop. If you do not have Photoshop, follow this link and download the 30 day free trial for Photoshop CC: http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp.
Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture are recommended as they will be used during the workflow and noise reducing sections of the workshop. Nik Softwares' plugin (Viveza, Define, etc.) are highly recommended.
