My Project

We have a robust photography program in our school with two levels offered on a semester basis. But we only have one class-set of Nikon D3400's that are shared across five classes and over 112 students.

We want to be able to explore additional creative opportunities with our cameras, but we are limited by our "kit" lenses, and we don't have the funds to purchase expensive, specialty lenses.

With the filter and lens adapter kit from Neewer, we can expand the potential of our existing cameras for a relatively small price per camera and add a plethora of new photography projects and experiments!

We could explore in-camera color experimentation. We could get "closer" with our macro photography projects. And we could get closer to the action with telephoto adapters.
