It is required that you have a 35 mm camera that you can operate in Manual Mode, allowing you to control both the aperture and shutter speed settings simultaneously. It is also required that you have a working knowledge of your camera in it's manual mode, including the basics of light metering and an ability to apply aperture and shutter speed to create a technically correct exposure.
