This month, join us for a fascinating presentation on:
Macro Photography
presented by photographer and educator Joe Klocek
Macro photography, the art of shooting objects up close and capturing exquisite detail, has become one of the most popular interests of photography enthusiasts. In this presentation, we will talk about the gear necessary for this craft, the intricacies that define this craft, and the ways that we modify our shooting to create amazing close-up work.
What we'll learn:
The difference between lenses that can focus physically close and true macro lenses
How magnification relates to focal length and proximity
Illuminating close-up subjects
How aperture affects depth-of-field at significant macro ratios
Focus stacking and editing considerations
NOTE: The meeting will be held on Zoom and in person at Unity in the Gold Country Spiritual Center.
