Creative Macro Photography
Thursday, February 20, at 7:00 PM ET
Learn how to create unusual and striking close-up images both in the field and in your own backyard and/or home studio. Award-winning fine art photographer and workshop leader, Charles Needle, guides you through all the necessary steps to take your macro photography to the next level. This session covers more advanced topics, such as selective-focus macro, “shooting through” with a telephoto lens, close-up lenses/diopters, artistic macro with Lensbaby and Kaleidoscopic lenses, Soft-Glow Montage macro, and wide-angle macro. Charles also discusses specific methods for shooting water droplets, reflections on iridescent glass, mylar, and everyday household objects.
