Learn close-up macro photography techniques
Get hands-on opportunities at multiple stations
Produce your Puzzle Macro Photo Challenge entries for September

Robert won first and second place in KCC’s last macro clicktique. His goal in the (very) hands-on workshop is to teach you how to capture macro images and then to guide you through the process from capture to post processing as you produce your Puzzle Macro entry for next month’s Photo Challenge. 

In the first 30 minutes or so, Robert will teach the fundamentals of macro photography with an emphasis on extreme close-up macro photography. For the remainder of the workshop, you will be able to practice what was presented under the guidance of Robert (and possibly other KCC members). Multiple stations will be set up with subject material, lights (flash and constant), reflectors, backgrounds, etc. You will have the opportunity to move from station to station and/or set up your own station with any subject material and equipment that you would like to bring.

Robert will, at some point, start post-processing some images while explaining his steps and techniques. Bring your laptop computer so that Robert can assist you with the post processing of the images that you capture during the workshop.

Hopefully, you will leave this workshop with a better understanding of how to conduct close-up macro photography as well as your Puzzle Macro entries for next month’s Photo Challenge.

Equipment to bring:

 

Subject material to bring:  Look at everyday objects and consider how their smallest details might be photographed.  Among other things, consider qualities such as patterns, texture, color, and shapes.  Get creative and imagine how they might be photographed at this workshop.

Here’s a partial list to spark some ideas:
