Macro Photo Conference 2014
Sponsored by Tamron and Hunt’s Photo
Speakers/Instructors
- Mike Moats, Tony Sweet. Kathleen Clemons, Lou Nettlelhorst, John
Barclay, David Akoubian, Hazel Meredith. Kim Ritsema-Mettler, Lisa and
Tom Cuchara, Geri Jones, Linda Sazbo.
This
will be a unique conference dedicated to macro photography. I’ve always
wanted to design a program where highly experienced photographers could
come together and teach their skills in macro photography and post
processing techniques to those who want to learn and advance their macro
photography to the next level. I’m a little unusual in that I only
photograph macro, and not into other styles of photography. Our
instructors are all accomplished photographers in many styles, but they
were chosen for their abilities to produce great macro images.
The
Macro Photo Conference will have plenty of how-to lectures and about
four hours of photographing with varying subject matter. Instructors
will be available to help participants with composing subjects and
technical aspects. The ratio will be 8 participants to 1 instructor so
you should not have a problem finding help if you need it. So you just
need to bring your camera, macro lens, and tripod, and we will take
care of making you better macro photographer.
Along
with learning how to be a better macro photographer you will also learn
about some of the great post processing programs available to take you
images to the next level.
Leading
New England photo retailer Hunt’s Photo will be there selling lots of
photo products. Tamron will have tech reps on hand with lenses available
for you to try out.
You can view bios about the speakers and instructors below.
There will be a limit of 100 participants, and it should sell out quick.
