Film camera users: Your camera with fresh batteries. A pen for writing your own notes on the handout materials. Bring four rolls of Fuji Sensia 100 and two rolls of Fuji Provia 400F. These are "slide films" and can be bought at Photo Scientific at No. 6 Stanley Street, Central. Ask for Mr. Poon. You can buy the Fuji Sensia 100 at many "Fotomax" stores, but not the Fuji Provia 400F. Photo Scientific in Stanley Street, Central has the best range of film in stock. Bring the user manual for your camera. For the field trip, bring a pocket note pad and pen for taking notes about the camera settings that you used for each photo. Bring the user manual for your camera.
Digital camera users: Your camera with a fully charged battery. A spare battery is highly recommended. A pen for writing your own notes on the handout materials. Make sure there is plenty of remaining space in your memory card, enough for at least three hundred photos. Bring the user manual for your camera.
For the field trip: Bring insect repellant. There are mosquitoes and other biting insects in the Botanical Gardens and in Hong Kong Park. Bring sunscreen. We will be outdoors for several hours during the field trip. If you are sensitive to the sun, please wear UV-blocking sunscreen. A hat is also recommended. If rain is forecast or looks imminent, bring an umbrella.
For the Photoshop class: Bring your laptop computer with its AC adapter and Photoshop software already installed. Bring a notepad and pen for taking notes.
