Equipment and Materials
List
Required by Second
Class Meeting
Camera – A Digital Single Lens Relfex (DSLR) camera is highly recommended. Most of these
cameras have at least 6 megapixels. Canon & Nikon are the recommended brands.
Field Book - Studio Matters available at the TCU Bookstore, pen or pencil for note taking
Required
by Week 2
Epson Ultra Premium Luster Paper (formerly known as Preumium Luster
Photo Paper) OR
Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper (formerly known as Enhanced Matte Paper)
**DO NOT BUY ILFORD INK JET PAPER YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE IT**
**DO NOT BUY GLOSSY PAPER YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE IT**
An inexpensive portfolio (about 16 x 20) for turning in assignments and
an additional folder
portfolio or box to hold unmatted prints
(Don't buy this until you hear the lecture on mounting)
Matte Board
for mounting work
White cotton gloves for handling finished work
Beinfang ColorMount - dry mount tissue for mounting your photographs
Optional but HIGHLY recommended:
External Hard drive (Initialized as FAT32, it should work with a PC or a Mac)
You could use CD-RÕs or DVD-RÕs for archiving your digital
file but this will
be a much slower process than using a hard drive
Kodak 18% Gray Card
Sturdy Tripod - We have some for "check out" but having your own can be good
I recommend Bogen/Manfrotto, Slik or Gitzo tripods
Recommended Text (NOT required but useful)
