Recommended
Equipment
In
addition to your properly functioning film/digital camera we recommend the following
equipment: a dedicated or built in flash, extra set of fully charged
batteries, lens cloth and gear bag. It is not necessary for you to go out and
purchase additional equipment for the workshop. Wear clothing
appropriate for the season, comfortable shoes for the field outings and
since some Mississippians are convinced that the state bird should be the
Mississippi mosquito you may want to carry along some insect protection.
And for those of you that eat more than once a day a sack lunch. If you
have been considering new camera equipment purchases feel free to
send us an email with your questions.
Workshop Materials
Provided
We will provide:
Drinks, bottled water, and all
workshop materials. For those of you shooting digital we will have a lap
top in the field for image review and instant feedback.
