Close up and personal

This will be a fun session experimenting with close-up photography for that very challenging Hutt battle topic “Senses”.

Bring your camera with macro setting or camera with macro lens / close-up filters / bellows. If you have none of these and are using an SLR camera with a detachable lens, you can actually create a macro lens by putting your standard lens on back to front with the help of an adaptor ring.

This is a great opportunity to stretch the boundaries of your creativity and learn techniques you can use in your other photograph

Guest speaker: Liz Finnie

Liz is a very talented and creative photographer who has had some
interesting travels lately. You’ll also be inspired by her breathtaking
artistic images.

Flash Workshop

Learn how to flash appropriately… we’ll run through all the tricks you can use
to light your subject without overexposing. Bring your camera and separate flash unit if you
have one.

PLUS please bring any potential interclub battle entries you’ve created so far (either prints or
digital) so we can see what topics we need to do more work on.
