Each student must have an SLR-type camera (either film or digital) that allows manual control of the aperture and shutter speed. (Please make sure you have extra batteries and the camera's manual! For questions about digicams please refer to dpreview.com. Cameras should fall into the SLR or SLR-Like category for use at Prizewinning Photography.)
