Macro And Close-Up Photography Workshop

A two-day class: Friday, April 22, 6:00 – 8:30 pm,
Saturday, April 23, 8:00 am – 1:00 pm

Presented by Laura Ducceschi, Fine Art Photographer

Create close-up photographs of nature’s captivating details. Join award-winning photographer Laura Ducceschi to learn about equipment, getting your subject in focus, background bokeh, composition, and lighting challenges. Bring your camera to practice techniques along Jenkins’ beautiful trails and gardens. Friday evening begins with indoor instruction, preparing for shooting out in the gardens on Saturday morning. The class will wrap up with time to share images from the morning.

Participants need to bring their own camera with which they have some familiarity. Recommended equipment: ideally, a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) with a macro lens or strong zoom, or a basic point and shoot with macro setting and/or super zoom, OR a phone with a clip-on macro lens. It is important to bring a fully charged battery and a camera card with space to shoot freely.
