Class Description

Description

Advance your macro photography abilities beyond fundamental close-up photography techniques through this specialized workshop.

For optimal results in this class, the following equipment is strongly recommended: an eighty-five to one hundred plus millimeter macro lens, a remote shutter release trigger, a sturdy tripod, and an external flash unit.

This class is available for DSLR and mirrorless camera systems only.
