Dabbling in Macro

Ok, so I have always loved nature photography and in particular, macro nature photography. It fascinates me that so many intricate textures, fibers and cells can be captured by a camera. Yellowknife's our own locally superb photographer Dave Brosha phenomenal at capturing nature's finest esthetically pleasing sites. I marvel at his postings detailing how he can manipulate light and his equipment to get shots that I could only envision in my dreams. It's really something completely different than portrait photography.

I sometimes finding myself day dreaming about flying off into sites famous for being nature's best known beauties (like the tundra caribou that we get up north or the glorious mountainous terrain of the Nahanni) with Dave by my side. Well, this little dream has (sort of) come true! Renowned photographer Darwin Wiggett will be in Yellowknife teaching a one day course in July and I have luckily secured my seat in his class. Yay me! I can't wait to learn more since this will actually be my first "official" photography class. I have done a little dabbling, as my title says, with some macro nature work but with no background knowledge, tips or tricks, up my sleeve. I hope to be able to do a lot more in the years ahead of me. It's so peaceful.
