Macro Photography

Join us for an up close and practical look at photographing invertebrates! The May class focuses on our ambassador arthropods for some excellent up-close photography. Summer classes focus on photography of invertebrates in our gardens, along the natural trails, and inside the tropical conservatory.  No experience necessary and all camera types can be used!

Start with an introductory talk by experienced macrophotographer Bob Krugmire about getting the most out of your equipment and then venture outside to explore our gardens and grounds for photography opportunities with our many-legged friends. View Bob's amazing photography at www.thiniceproductions.org!
