Up Close & Personal: Macro Photography

This two-day course (March 16 and 23) will focus on all aspects of capturing, processing, and displaying macro-photographic (extreme close-up) images using the plants, features, and environment of Birmingham Botanical Gardens as subject matter. Class requirements include a Digital SLR camera, a tripod, and a basic knowledge of the camera's operation (beyond “full auto”). Presented by the Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens, the class will be led by photographer Hank Siegel.
