Walk with Heather through Smith Botanical Garden and learn about easy ways to get better closeup photos with a macro lens. You?ll have an opportunity to test SIGMA loaner gear and watch Heather as she shares how to find critters or interesting flowers. This walk will cover things like shutter speed and aperture for close-up photos, plus macro photography composition, subject framing, and techniques for getting good focus. Heather will be teaching her methods on how to SLOW DOWN and see the world so many people miss.
