Nature in Macro Talk

Nature in Macro Talk 

This talk shows how I go about photographing the wide assortment of butterflies, moths, damselflies, dragonflies and other insects that we have in the countryside. It also covers reptiles, amphibians, wild flowers, orchids and fungi. 

In the talk I explain what equipment I use, and how I go about  photographing each of the different types of subjects. It covers focus stacking, aperture, depth of field, and shows how to get sharp pictures when conditions are difficult. It also shows how to get close to subjects and also how to find them.  In the second part of the talk, there is a quiz where the members have to pick out of 10 images which image was taken under controlled conditions in a studio set up. 

The following are shots from the talk.
