What is the difference between the “usual” good photo and an exciting, different and intriguing image? You got it, Macro and Close-up photography!!! It can open a whole new world to your photo experience, your vision and your creativity. So often we don’t stop to “smell the roses,” and often we don’t stop to really see that “rose.” This workshop will open your eyes and change your perspective to find some new and beautiful ways of experiencing the Laguna and life around you. You might find yourself lost in a whole new world; and you did not have to fall down the rabbit hole! We will have a two-hour lecture, demonstration and discussion on the techniques and challenges with close-up photography (it takes a little more than just moving your feet in close), and then we will go out and about in the theater of the Laguna with our cameras and photograph this new wide world around you. Near the end of the workshop, we will return to Heron Hall and share images and results. Participants bring their own lunch. Hot drinks and snacks are provided.
