• You’ll need a digital camera. It can be a DSLR or a mirrorless model. Your camera must have the shutter and aperture priority modes. These controls usually appear on a dial or can sometimes be accessed through the LCD screen.
Click here to see what it looks like. If you’re not sure you have it send me an email with your camera model.
"Point and shoot" cameras are not recommended since they lack most of the features covered.
• A charged battery and a memory card with empty space.
• Your camera manual will come in handy. Digital PDF versions are easily found online and you can store them on your phone for easy access.
