Other notes:This unit is offered in both Semester 1 and Semester 2 in order to ensure that students have reasonable access to the School's photographic equipment. While the school has camera equipment available for loan it is highly recommended that students obtain a camera of their own to use for this course (entry level DSLR). The school uses the Canon system so in order to use the schools loan lenses and accessories the Canon system is advised but not compulsory.
