Join us for a Macro photography workshop

Macro photography is one of the most popular forms of photography and with good reason! With endless possibilities, enter the world of fine detail with this 4-hour session sharing tips and tricks to achieve better macro photographs. For macro photography, either DSLRs or mirrorless cameras will work great, there are some technical hurdles that you must cross and a sharp image of a tiny object requires the lens to be positioned much closer than your standard photograph.

This is a hands-on session will be held att the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. The small class will allow the explanation of technical and artistic aspects of great macro photography with a strong focus on hands-on time in the garden. 

Duration: 4 Hours

What To Bring? Your camera fully charged and camera manual, notepad and pen. Please ensure you purchase or bring your macro lens and a sturdy tripod. If you don’t have a macro lens, please feel free to contact us for hire options. As this is a photo walk, please ensure you wear comfortable shoes and suitable attire to suit weather conditions. You may find it beneficial to keep existing photos on your memory card for critique by our trainer.
