Master photographer and chief instigator Jeff Johnson presents The Beautiful World of Macro Photography on Sunday, March 24, 2019, 8:30am – 3:30pm at Lone Tree Civic Center, 8527 Lone Tree Parkway, Lone Tree, CO.
Macro photography can be so beautiful and quite rewarding. It can also be quite challenging, if not a mystery to many photographers. Knowing what lens to choose, what f-stop to use, what lighting and direction to best enhance the subject and where to focus sometimes is just a best guess. It doesn’t have to be!
Jeff will attempt to de-mystify macro photography for you by covering proper equipment, exposure, depth-of-field, camera & lighting angles and backgrounds. There are several possible lighting set-ups including natural window light, studio strobe, soft-box, strip light, umbrella, etc. Backgrounds vary greatly in creating your macro art, as well. Macro photography can be quite rewarding and satisfying once you get past the technical challenges. Learn these simple techniques and allow your creativity to wander.
This full-day hands-on workshop will cover these topics and techniques:
- Image pre-visualization & composition
- Equipment including
- Cameras and lens
- Lighting – styles and techniques
- Backgrounds & props
- Camera settings including
- F-stops
- Shutter speeds
- ISO
- Auto vs. Manual focus
- Lightroom & Photoshop including
- Adjustment layering (Photoshop)
- NIK Software
- Texture overlays
- Lots more as time permits
The morning session will have several stations setup with varying types of lighting, props and opportunities to learn. We’ll break for lunch (on your own) and in the afternoon, Jeff will demonstrate in Lightroom and Photoshop how he creates fine art images from macro imagery. So much to share and fun to be had!
