SUMMARY:Macrophotography: Photographing Our Smallest Organisms
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a passion for photography but have never tried it on a smaller scale? Are you curious about the Park’s tiny creatures but aren’t sure how to spot them? If so, this workshop is for you! \nWe’ll first begin with a talk all about the art of macrophotography, which is close-up photography that shows a subject larger than it is in real life. You’ll learn tips on lighting, exposure, composition, and equipment. This will be followed by time on the trails, exploring Anza-Borrego’s unique insects, geckos, flowers and more while looking for photo subjects. You’ll leave with a newfound knowledge of Anza-Borrego’s flora and fauna and this new creative tool. \nThis workshop is open to all ages and experience levels, from smartphone users to people with DSLR or mirrorless cameras. Participants will be provided with a printed list of resources that they can access after the workshop. \nRegister today!  \n \nDate: Saturday, December 14, 2024 \nTime: 9:00 a.m.—2:00 p.m.  \nLocation: \nUC Irvine Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center \n401 Tilting T Drive, Borrego Springs, CA 92004 \n \nCost: \nABF Member: $45 \nNon-Member: $55 \nStudent: $25 \n*Please note that as the Anza-Borrego Foundation is a non-profit organization, all program costs are used to support current and future education programs, including subsidized programs that seek to increase access to the outdoors.   \nScholarships: A limited number of scholarships are available for those with financial hardship. If you’d like to request a scholarship, please reach out to emily@theabf.org with a two–three paragraph description about why you’d like to attend this program and your need for a scholarship.  \n \nAbout the Instructors: \nMarshal Hedin is a Biology Professor at San Diego State University, and the Director of the SDSU Biodiversity Museum. He is an avid photographer of many things, with a particular interest in macrophotography of small animals. \n \nWriter and photographer Tom Astle grew up in Montana, where he learned to love the outdoors. He took up photography as a teenager, but being on a budget, his first macro lens was a magnifying glass taped to the front of a used 35 mm film camera. His photography equipment has improved somewhat since then, but his goal has remained the same — to capture portraits of nature, especially the small and often-overlooked creatures around us. His passion for macro photography has taken him to many parts of the world, but most of the time he hunts for subjects in Montana’s mountains, Southern California’s deserts, or simply in the small rectangle of his suburban Los Angeles backyard. Tom’s photographs have appeared in a number of books, periodicals, and scientific papers; more of his work is on his website, tomastlephotography.com. In case his fancy macro lens breaks, he still has the magnifying glass. \n \nCancellation Policy: Cancellation requests must be received seven days before the event if you wish to receive a refund. ABF may cancel a program due to inclement weather or low attendance, with 24-hour notice if possible. If ABF cancels a program, we will issue a full refund or credit.  \n
