MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY - Flowers & Insects (Weather permitting)

Saturday, 19 October 2024
Botanical Gardens, Mt Coot-tha

==========================
Hi Brissie Photographers,

I know some of us had mentioned about doing Macro Photography, so here we go. Spring is coming, so let's finally do this.

### What Is Macro Photography?

Macro photography is close-up photography of small subjects, including things like bugs and flowers. You can take macro pictures in a studio or outdoor environment so long as you are magnifying your subject sufficiently.

Officially, you may hear that macro photography only happens when you take pictures of small subjects with a magnification of “life size” or greater. I will cover more about the meaning of magnification and life-size in a moment, but essentially it means that you must take pictures where your subject is the same size as your camera sensor or smaller, and it fills the frame. (So, if your camera sensor is one inch wide, you would be photographing something 1 inch or smaller.)

MEETING POINT:
Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens - main entrance
Time between 08:30 AM - 11:00 AM

What to bring:

• A tripod (compact one is fine)
• Fully charged camera + extra batteries
• Fully charged smart phone + powerbank
• Spare SD cards
• A bottle of water and snack
• Warm jacket and comfy footwear

As always, please ensure you apply RSVP only if you can really make it.

Hoping to seeing some of you there 🤗

Regards,
Donna
