Taking Great Close-up Images
Using Natural Light
Paul
Peterson has once again agreed to give this always popular workshop, in which
he shares his techniques of taking striking close-up (macro) images of flowers.
He has developed his own style shooting mostly indoors, using diffused natural
light. This enables shooting year round in comfort without regard to weather,
wind, and harsh lighting. Paul will begin by explaining his techniques for
lighting, , use of backgrounds and other techniques he has perfected over the
years.
This
will be a hands-on workshop, so please bring your camera, a tripod and a macro
lens if you have one. If you don’t have a macro lens, just bring what you have.
Most of the flowers are large enough that they don’t really require a macro
lens. Paul will have flower setups at a number of stations in his home, so everyone
will have ample opportunity to try their hand using his techniques. If you’d
like, you may bring a bloom or two. No live creepy crawlies, please!
The
workshop will be held on Saturday, May 3rd in the morning.
There will be a sign-up sheet
at meetings, or you can email me at beadnik2@gmail.com.
I will send out an email with directions to Paul’s home about a week before the
workshop to all who have signed up.
Please
note that workshops are FREE, but you do need to be a current member to attend
workshops.
