What camera would be best?
I am taking two photography classes next semester. Here are both course descriptions:
Introductory Photography
This course is an introduction to today’s photography. Camera operations, exposure control, composition theory, image processing, and printing using current software applications are covered. Students must have a digital camera with manual exposure capabilities.
Black and White Photography
This course is an introduction to black and white photography. Basic camera operations, exposure control, composition, film processing, and print enlargement will be covered. Students must have a 35mm single lens camera with manual controls.
I am looking for cameras that are not too expensive. Thanks!
Whilst there are compact cameras with manual capability I would suggest a DSLR for the first course.
For the second film based course there are thousands of 35mm SLR’s going for very little.
The classic 35mm film camera for students is the Pentax K1000, built like a tank, mechanical everything with TTL metering. You get a lot of camera for very little money.
If you also get a Pentax DSLR the lenses from the K1000 could be used on that too, not the case with Canon or Nikon as both have changed their lens mounts over the years. Pentax has built in compatibility as they haven’t changed their basic lens mount since 1968.

Photography Applications for Cloud Computing (Paperback) $47.03 Cloud computing is here to stay. Every day, millions of Internet users rely on the convenience, safety, and generous space available on remote servers for storing and backing up every conceivable kind of digital data. Photographers, too, enjoy the cloud`s advantages, including the ability to store, access, edit, and print photographs from anywhere in the world instead of relying on potentially vulnerable storage on just one or two local hard drives. Whether you`re new to the concept or an old hand, PHOTOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS FOR CLOUD COMPUTING can help you make the most of what cloud computing has to offer for photographers. Explore your many choices (Carbonite, Mozy, Amazon, Google, and many more), learn up-to-date cloud terminology, options, and limitations, and get your questions answered–from concerns about security and access, to file degradation, storage of large-format Raw files, and more. PHOTOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS FOR CLOUD COMPUTING brings you up to speed on this popular and powerful storage option. |

Small-Format Aerial Photography: Principles techniques and geoscience applications $78.89 As the need for geographical data rapidly expands in the 21 st century so too do applications of small-format aerial photography for a wide range of scientific commercial and governmental purposes. Small-format Aerial Photography (SFAP) presents basic and advanced principles and techniques with an emphasis on digital cameras. Unmanned platforms are described in considerable detail including kites helium and hot-air blimps model airplanes and paragliders. Several case studies primarily drawn from the geosciences are presented to demonstrate how SFAP is actually used in various applications. Many of these integrate SFAP with ground-based investigations as well as conventional large-format aerial photography satellite imagery and other kinds of geographic information. *Full-color photographs throughout *Case studies from around the globe *Techniques presented allow for image resolution impossible to match via traditional aerial photography or satellite datasets *Glossary clarifies key terms |
