*NEW* It's a Small World - Macro & Close-Up Photography


Adult Activities and Classes / Special Interest & Trips -
Summer 2024

Did you know bees have fur? When we look closer at the things around us a whole new world opens up. Using our cameras to photograph subjects close up allows us to create amazing photos of things that we walk by every day. These can be flowers in the garden, berries on a bush, vegetables in the garden, insects, moss, etc. Macro and close-up photography allows us to capture the fine details of the world around us. What is even better is that this type of photography can take place at any time of the day. During this class, we will discuss some of the techniques that we can use to capture some fantastic close-up images. There will be plenty of hands-on exercises to help you feel confident that you will be able to continue to capture close-up images on your own. Contrary to what YouTubers have to say, you don’t need a lot of specialized equipment or lighting to take these types of photos. Certainly, things like macro lenses help, but great results are possible using a telephoto zoom lens or making use of extension tubes. As part of the class, Don will discuss equipment and demonstrate its usage.

We will start the day at Rice Lake Elementary (9-10:15 approx), then we will head over to Wargo Nature Center for the remainder of class.
