Discover how to create stunning close-ups of flowers and other plant features in this one-day workshop with photographer David Kahn, at the Wellesley College Botanic Garden in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Begin with a discussion of equipment, preparation, composition, lighting, tips and tricks, as well as see examples of what can be achieved. Then practice macro techniques using a variety of settings in the Ferguson Greenhouses and Visitor Center. This hands-on workshop is ideal for photographers who want to explore their own creative vision in the realm of macro photography as well as artists who want to record small details as a reference for future artwork. Requirements: a digital camera and a good working knowledge of your camera, including being able to focus on a subject 6″ or less from the lens, set your camera’s exposure mode, and turn your flash on or off. A more complete list of requirements will be available online at www.wellesley.edu/WCFH. Please contact the office if you are not sure if your equipment or experience is sufficient. Please bring your lunch as David plans a special presentation over lunch hour. The class, which runs from 10 – 4, will take place Friday, March 23 (snow date Friday, March 30), beginning at 9:30 am. Friends of the Wellesley College Botanic Garden: $75, non-members $95.
