We will recommend one to you that sells for $129 on Amazon.

However, if your camera does not fall into one of the above categories you will need to purchase a focusing rail. If you have a camera that does focus stacking internally you will not need anything additional. Amy will also explain the post-processing techniques.

Amy will explain the ins and outs of stacking software and the participants will use Helicon Focus when working on the final images.

#MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY FULL#

Super Macro demands image stacking to appreciate the full beauty of a subject. We will have lenses to attach to your macro lenses. You will need to bring your “normal” macro equipment. Insect eyes, butterfly and moth wings, intricate flowers, bug faces, and loads of other subjects will be provided. The workshop is not a lecture format but one where, after a brief discussion, the participants will dive into taking their own Super Macro photographs. The tools are not expensive but the techniques are exacting. The learning curve is not steep and if you have taken one of Bruce or Amy’s Macro Photography Workshops you will be prepared with the basics and ready for advanced work. Bruce and Amy will instruct on the various photographic tools and skills necessary to capture marvelous Super Macro images. Join photographers Bruce Taubert and Amy Horn as they take you on a journey where the unseeable and unbelievable will be yours. By exploring beyond 1X into higher levels and even up to 5X the macro photographer opens up an incredible array of images that, unaided, cannot be seen by the naked eye. The various facets of an insect’s eye, flower pistol and stamens, the scales that make up a butterfly wing, and thousands of other intricately patterned biological and geological features need additional magnification to allow the viewer to see their marvels. Unfortunately, although pleasing to the eye, 1X images leave many of the more intricate patterns wanting. Flowers, insects, crystals, and the like make great macro photography subjects. Beautiful images can be made from the hundreds of common subjects found anywhere. Most macro photography is centered around 1X (one time) magnification and can easily be accomplished with a simple macro lens, camera, appropriate lighting, and a solid tripod.
