John and Kendra Abbott of Abbott Nature Photography are pleased to announce an upcoming Macro Photography Workshop. The event will be held at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center. We will explore different macro photographic techniques used to make the best images of insects, spiders, flowers, leaves, lizards, frogs, snakes and more. We will also learn a variety of post-processing techniques using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, iPhoto and other programs. We will have a variety of different equipment at the workshop and you will have the opportunity to try it on live subjects as well as learn how to use what you already own to its fullest potential. This workshop will also focus on capturing pollinating insects and bats in flight and nighttime photography. This workshop is designed for all levels of photographers, but to get the most out of the workshop, you should own a digital SLR. For a tentative itinerary, click here.
