Among the subjects we will discuss in this class are various equipment options, the proper conditions for photographing indoors and outdoors, lighting, backgrounds, choosing the best subject, depth of field, and other helpful tips for using a macro lens. The class consists of a lecture and time to discuss each students’ work and answer questions.
