The theme will be “Macro Photography” and we’ll spend our time shooting flowers, bugs, and anything else suitable for a macro lens. I’ll have with me my 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and a macro twin lite flash.
Our second May session will begin at 8:30 am Wednesday, May 25, at the Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary (meet in the parking lot nearest the Nature House.
