The 50mm focal length has been the keystone of 35mm photography since the 1930s. Renowned master Henri Cartier-Bresson reportedly used just the "50" for everything from landscapes to portraiture. Fact is - even the cheapest of its kind proves optically superior to any of the current crop of consumer zooms. And from a creative perspective, this is the lens you should be pulling a lot more frequently from your camera bag - and this course will show you why.

What you will need:

• Digital SLR or film camera (you will need access to a scanner if using the latter)
• 50mm prime lens or point-and-shoot camera with a fixed 50mm lens
• Computer with photo-processing software (e.g. Photoshop)
• Willingness to go light
