"Is this a digital or film course?"
It is a photography course - about creating better pictures. The emphasis is on your skills behind the camera and your ability to effectively use the camera you have. Digital cameras will make in-the-field critique easier. Film shooters are very welcome. Do not worry about your equipment - all you need is an SLR camera and lens(es) - "point and shoot" cameras are not suitable for this course.
