You will take home a CD that has all the photos presented in the class as well as additional information and images. If you have a camera, bring it to class. Also bring the manual and any cords or other accessories that came with your camera. If you haven't purchased a camera yet, you might want to wait until after the class. Bring your tripod, if you have one. Also, if you have a piece you've had trouble photographing, bring it along!
