Below are some examples of Rich's work.

Equipment Requirements:

Camera: Any camera is suitable, even a fully automatic point-and-shoot, but you should be familiar with it's use, and you absolutely should bring the manual to class with the camera. However, the better your tools, the more you will be able to accomplish, so here is the equipment I recommend.

A 35mm SLR (single lens reflex) camera (this is the type of camera that allows you to change lenses). Please be familiar with its operation.

Lenses: The best lens will have a macro feature, but a regular short telephoto lens (in the 85 to 135mm range) will do fine. Other good lenses (though optional) are a wide angle (24 or 35mm) or a longer telephoto lens.

A sturdy tripod. This can be a lifesaver. I will explain the reasons for using a tripod early in the workshop. If the tripod has a detachable head upon which to mount your camera, you will find it much easier to work, especially if it is a type known as a ball head.

Optional equipment:
cable release
reflectors
warming and polarizing filters
closeup attachments
