1 file available upon enrollmentA digital DSLR camera is highly recommended, however a phone camera app with similar exposure settings can also work. Its best if your family or a friend has one you can borrow or if you already have one that is great! They can cost up to $200 or more if you buy used. There are local sellers or online retailers that you could buy a used one from if needed. This will need to be bought or borrowed on your own. You will need a memory card- $20-30 at Walmart; buy on your own. You will need a battery with a charger. The battery and charger should come with the camera. You may find it helpful to have the manual for the camera in order to get the most out of your learning. It should also come with your camera. If you don't have though, no worries! Manuals can also be found online and I can help as needed.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
The cameras can be pricey- so its best to use one you already have in the family or buy a used one from a local seller or online retailer. The young person must be allowed to use the camera to learn and complete the homework. The next classes recommended are either Middle School or High School Semester Photography classes, or if its summer, the Photography Camps would be good options.
