The Course

Getting up close and personal with nature presents so many wonderful opportunities to you as a photographer. This full day course can be adapted to meet your needs and will be run from my home in Keltneyburn and the surrounding woods and forests.

This is an intermediate to advanced level course so to get the most from this course, you will need to be familiar with your camera and be comfortable with the relationship between ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed - if you don’t feel confident with those yet, why not get in touch to sign up for my Photography for Beginners Course and we can take your photography knowledge to the next level?

The Macro Photography Course can be run either as a half day or a full day, depending on how many of the course topics you would like us to cover.
