DIGITAL Equipment:
***SLR Digital Camera 8mp or larger (any make, but Gina is most familiar with Canon)
***Lenses: Macro, Zoom Wide Angle, Zoom or fixed Telephoto
***Sturdy Tripod
***Shutter Release
***Polarizer Filter (circular)
***Plastic Bag to cover your camera in case of rain. Also useful for kneeling on wet ground
***Flashlight or head lamp
***CF Card: Sandisk 4 gig Extreme III or IV preferred, but any other comparable brand is ok. Just make sure it can write
fast! Word of advice here--you get what you pay for.
***Computer and a way to transfer your images to your computer. You will need this to present your images for critique.
Photoshop CS2 or CS3. You do not need to know how to use Photoshop. Gina will show you how to edit your photos for the best
possible results.
***Bring your camera's owner's manual!
Important!
Please read your camera's owners manual. You are expected to have a good working knowledge of your camera. If you don't,
I will have to spend too much time teaching you and it will slow down the rest of the class from getting great shots. This
is especially important if you are shooting with anything other than a Canon camera.

Recommended Clothing:
The most important item to bring is a pair of comfortable hiking boots. Tennis shoes are not advised because they do not
have the grip or traction necessary for dirt, rocks, and pine needles you will be walking on.
Long pants with lots of pockets. Cargo pants are great because you can utilize all the pockets with small gear such as
filters, lens caps, etc. A pair of Cargo capris for women and long shorts for men will be comfortable also. Old Navy always
has a good selection. A photographer's vest or fishing vest is a good idea if you don't have pants with pockets.
Short and long sleeve t-shirts, heavy coat. The weather can range from a comfortable temperature to very cold in the morning
and at night.
Fleece vest. Very useful when the temperature is a mid level and you don't need a full jacket.
One light weight jacket.
Soft brim shade hat. Soft brims work best because you can flip the brim up when you have your camera up to your eye.
Gloves with the fingers exposed and sticky grippies on the palms. You can still easily use your fingers to manipulate
dials on your camera, and the grippies make it easy to open and close your tripod legs.
Suntan lotion with mosquito repellent in it.
Remember, this is a "tweener" time of year in Wyoming. Be prepared for all types of weather.
