Outline
Tuition will be given for working outdoors as well as indoors when there is a much wider choice of lighting sources. These include: window light by day; artificial light, flash or a lightbox – by day or night. Various lighting set-ups will be available in a professional studio using all these light sources together with studio flash and fibre optics to photograph flowers, leaves, fossils and highly reflective subjects as well as shooting life in aquaria.
At the end of this day you will have a clear understanding of how to achieve the best results when photographing a wide range of macro subjects using your digital SLR – outside or indoors.
We can even fine-tune this day to meet your own particular interests and experience level.
