I am holding a Macro Photography workshop on Monday 31st November at my home close to junction 31 of the M1 / the junction of the A57 with the A1.
If you have ever wanted to master macro photography or would like to use a macro lens for the first time (I will have three spare lenses for students to use for the day) this will be the workshop for you.
The atmosphere is relaxed and the discussions are kept as simple as possible - I aim to help you at a pace and level you find understandable. So if you are a novice or experienced camera user you will find the workshop helpful.
Macro photography is ideal for wet, dull days when you can't get out and shoot, or when you need to stay at home.
Working with natural light, studio lights and flash on a wide range of macro subjects we will look at how to perfect your macro images both technically and compositionally.
I provide a selection of high quality items ideal for macro images including flowers, shells, leaves, fossils, metal surfaces and so on.
We will look at floral photography using the maro lens, abstract and fine art macro photography, how to use things from around the home to produce stunning images. We will cover how to work in full manual mode as well as working in aperture priority and spend time demonstrating how depth of field affects macro images.
We will also look at the benefits of working in RAW and how to process your macro shots in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Elements or Adobe Photoshop. I also cover how to have a workflow to maximise the quality of your images and how to concentrate on processing your very best shots. I also aim to look at how to convert your images into stunning black and white for that fine art look and how to use textures to further develop artistic effects.
A buffet lunch is included in the price of this relaxed and easy to follow workshop. My aim is for you to go home not only with a memory card full of stunning images, but also a solid understanding of how to keep making high quality macro images yourself.
Course participants are limited to four so that you can all have plenty of personal attention and help.
The day will start at 10am and finish around 3 to 4pm depending on your needs. The cost includes lunch and all the macro subjects we will photographing and use of a loan camera (There will be a Canon 5d and a 1ds mk2 available with Sigma 105mm macro lenses. I also have a third Canon fit Sigma 105mm macro lens available if you have a Canon Camera) and macro lens if you need one (just bring your own memory card so you can take the images home with you.) It would be best if you had a tripod to make the most of the day, although I have two tripods which will be available on loan if required.
The day will cost £55, payable on the day. Please use the 'contact us' form on my website to book a place at www.dougchinnery.co.uk
I hope you are able to join us.
PS. This workshop is now fully booked. If you would like advance notice of future workshops please just contact me via my website at http://www.dougchinnery.co.uk/ and I will email you as new workshops are announced.
