| The Challenges of Close-up & Macro Photography John Bebbington FRPS 7 Feb 2012 |
| With a book on insect photography to be published in June, John's expertise in the field of macro photography was greatly appreciated by our club members. A naturalist by training, he has always used photography to complement his field work. He teaches natural history photography courses and is currently chairman of the RPS Nature Group. The focus of the evening was on the challenges of macro photography: depth of field, lighting, composition, use of stabilisers... all very beautifully illustrated with digital images of flowers and insects, including moths which were often quite hard to spot! He also touched on the art of fieldcraft and the welfare of the subject being photographed, all the while reminding us of the beauty in our back garden. LS |
