I will be at The Chicago Botanic Garden to offer a Friday evening lecture on The Magical World of Floral Close-Ups followed on Saturday by a full day workshop on Floral Close-up Photography. The presentation will take you on a visual journey that begins with my early attempts at flower photography and will trace the path I traveled learning the craft necessary to create dramatic floral close-ups. The Saturday workshop will show you how to use macro lenses, as well as inexpensive extension tubes and close-up filters on lenses you already have, to help you create dramatic and aesthetic images of flowers as you have rarely seen them.
