The class is organized into five segments:

• Camera Setup… how to setup the camera to enable one to capture the best images.
• Image Capture… techniques, processes and tips to capture great plant images.
• Image Processing… software options and how tos for effective image processing.
• Practical Application… field work in the gardens.

• Your digital camera (preferably an SLR or high end digital compact or bridge camera with functions that go beyond “Full Auto”.
• A tripod (if you have one – not essential for the class)
