Mike will cover the most important equipment for macro
photography, how to control depth of field,
aspects of composition, and subject matter.

Mike Moats is an international award winning full time professional macro photographer
from Michigan. He is a Tamron Image Master, and his articles and images have been
published in many photo magazines for over 15 years. He has a Macro Photo Club
online with over 2,000 members, from 18 countries. Mike teaches workshops and
speaks at photo conferences throughout the US.

This is a "Members Only" Zoom event. Check your emails for mtg credentials.
