Photography – Close Up and Sensational : A Guide to ‘Close Up’ Photography
Description
A relaxed fun day’s practical photography experience of the intimate world of ‘Close Up & Macro’ photography.
I will base the day on photographing flowers. From a group of flowers, to a single one, down to an individual petal or stamen. However, participants are free to bring different, small, subject matters if they choose.
The day starts with brief introductions by each participant and a favourite ‘Close Up’ image they have taken or would like to try and take.
Ideal for someone with an interest in photography and who wants to technically and visually improve their image creating. Suitable for all.
Please note: You do not have to have a special macro lens.
