EQUIPMENT: Camera with macro lens is ideal but not necessary. Wide angle and long lenses can be fun with close up work too. Smartphones are welcome but you will learn more with a camera that you can control manually. A tripod is strongly recommended.

QUICK OVERVIEW: You will be paired with another person so you can help each other with lights and rearranging things. You can ask to work with a specific person. Every 15 minutes you will go to the next station. Cindy and I will be helping wherever needed.

STATIONS: One station will have items to practice with your camera to really understand aperture and how it affects depth of field. This will be especially helpful for those with limited macro experience. More experienced people do not need to work with this exercise. Other stations will have a light pad, light tent, continuous light, and colored flashlights. There will also be foam core for backgrounds plus reflectors. Macro subjects will be abundant.

Come have fun learning more about macro and experimenting in a warm environment! Feel free to bring a few items from home if you want to share with the group.
