Setting aside your film camera for a new digital model can be an exhilarating process. We'll help make it so by first covering - or refreshing - the basics of the photographic process - controlling light, creating pleasing compositions and anticipating that all-illusive, defining moment, where everything comes together in a powerful way. That accomplished, this course will guide you through capturing your work on digital media, down-loading your pictures to the computer, toning your photographs to perfection and transferring them to your hard-drive for safe storage and future retrieval. As enjoyable as it is practical and valuable, this digital 'jump-start' will have you shooting stunning images the digital way in no time flat. In fact - you may never touch another roll of film again!

What you will need:

• DSLR Camera or film camera with manual mode capability (If shooting film, you will need access to a scanner in order to digitize your work for upload to the TCI website)
• Selection of lenses
• Computer with photo-processing software (e.g. Photoshop)
• A light but study tripod would be beneficial
