That's the weekend before Turkey Day holiday which is the unofficial start of the desert season here in the South West.
I'm looking forward to resuming a full schedule of Anza-Borrego and Ocotillo Wells Raptor Runs!
Start: 11/20/2010 - 8:00am
End: 11/20/2010 - 4:00pm
Location: Meet at State Park Visitor Center flagpole
Instructor: Paul Johnson
$45 or $35 for ABF members
Macro photography involves moving in very close to a small subject, and showing it larger or in more detail than is commonly seen by the human eye. These photographs can be very dramatic because they are so out-of-the-ordinary, but they can also be technically challenging for the photographer.
In this class you will learn what kind of equipment is necessary to produce macro photographs, and how to use that equipment to produce dramatic and satisfying images. The class will also provide information on lighting, composition and the art of finding the appropriate subject matter for this unique form of photography. While the class is designed primarily for people who have an interchangeable lens, SLR-type camera, the techniques can also be used with fixed-lens automatic digital cameras.
The class will be divided into two sections. The morning part will concentrate on equipment and techniques, while the afternoon portion will be devoted to a field trip in which the tools and techniques will be demonstrated on real subjects (2WD OK). If you do not presently own any of the special tools (extension tubes, macro lenses, close-up diopter lenses, etc) needed for macro photography, this is an excellent opportunity to see how they work and get some recommendations before investing your money. Students will also have an opportunity to try out some of the special macro tools in the field.
Participants should have a good knowledge of how their camera works, especially in the manual mode. Please bring a tripod if possible, and make sure your camera can be securely fastened to the tripod.
Class will begin at 8:00 AM and end at 4:00 PM. There will be a lunch break of 1.5 hours.
