Photography Walk with Mary Louise Ravese, Bella Vista Photography

When we are able to get a close-up view of flowers, we can produce beautiful, intriguing photographs. Many amateur photographers think that to achieve these images you need to invest in a costly macro lens. Fortunately, that's not true!

Extension tubes and close-up diopters (filters) are more affordable accessories that you can use in combination with your existing lenses to enable close-up photography. For the photographer who likes to occasionally dabble with close-up photography, they are a welcome, budget-friendly option.

Mary Louise will explain how to use these accessories to successfully achieve close-up images. Then, under her guidance, participants can practice close-up photography in the arboretum gardens.

This class is suitable for traditional cameras (DSLR and mirrorless).
