Close Up and Macro Photography
Exploring close-up and macro photography is for many, the first time their technique finds itself seriously stretched. Macro Photography faces many challenges, but once mastered, the rewards are enormous.
The SPI (school of photographic imaging) Close-up and macro module helps you meet those challenges by guiding you through equipment choices, setting you step by step tasks to build your skills and confidence and finally giving detailed personalised feedback on the results.
· Choosing equipment to suit your needs and skills
· Achieving sharp images at close quarters – optimal settings
· Focussing – tips for auto and manual focus
· Avoiding subject and camera movement
· Lighting small subjects successfully using natural and artificial light
Whether you just want to successfully use the ‘macro’ feature on your zoom lens, a specialist macro lens or to get even closer using close up lenses, extension tubes or bellows then this course will guide you through exercises that help to develop the skills you need. Your tutor’s feedback then gives you useful pointers to how you can build on these skills and rectify any problems you had.
Each module is a short standalone course that guides you through a series of carefully designed exercises and then gives you detailed illustrated feedback on the results from an experienced professional photographer and tutor.
Download a module, read it thoroughly and then crack on with the exercises. Once you’re done, upload your completed module to the SPI website and within days receive detailed feedback using your own images to show where you might make improvements, inspirational examples to learn from and step by step tutorials that are unique to your needs.
