Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

    It was most helpful, I feel very confident in how to use the camera now. The class was more technical in terms of how to use the equipment we have and learned about aperture, ISO and shutter speed, which was new to me.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this class! Cynthia organized the information in a way that was easy for us beginners to understand. We had ample time to practice and for Cynthia to answer any additional questions we had. She also provided some print out and online resources to support our continued independent practice.

    I just finished taking photos for a home to be listed and noticed the clouds with the sunset looming. I figured I would get to the park in time for a great sunset photo and unfortunately I was a few minutes late! I still decided to take some shots and they still came out nicely. While taking some shots a boat passed by and some kayakers which I also have shots of.Shot on my Sony A7RIV 16-35mm GM lens. 35mm 1 sec shutter, F/11 ISO 400. August 21st 2024 at 8:44pm
