The equipment you’ll need is a digital camera, a computer and an internet connection for sharing your images I started in photography with a manual camera where you set your shutter, aperture, focus, film speed, you set everything yourself.

Today’s digital cameras have a lot of this automated for you but it's still important to know what that automation is doing to make good images. Also, the workflow is much easier with the computer than it ever was with the darkroom. Once you know the basics of digital photography, it can be simple, fast and fun. So let's get started.
