Workshop | Enter the World of Macro Photography: Learn about Technique, Technology, & More
In this presentation, photographer Lester Lefkowitz will inform you of the basics of getting close, the terminology, and the relatively simple and inexpensive ways to get started with macro photography. There are an infinite number of small things all around us that make fascinating photographic subjects. The techniques necessary to make great images of diminutive subjects are somewhat different from those for conventional photography. Using scores of great photographs, you'll learn about close-up filters, extension tubes, and macro lenses; how camera types affect your technique and results; how to handle what becomes very limited depth-of-field; proper methods for the tricky aspects of close-up focusing; and even some suggestions as to what you might photograph (sure, lots of examples of bugs and flowers, too).
