Frog and Reptile Macro Workshop March 4th, 5th, and 6th 2023 Deerfield Beach Fl.
I am excited to announce my 11th annual Frog and Reptile Macro Workshop is on the schedule. Please join me as I bring this exciting workshop once again to Deerfield Beach Fl. just north of Ft. Lauderdale. This workshop is going to be a one of a kind event, plus I’ve added once again a full day to photograph butterflies, birds, and flowers at the amazing Butterfly World in Coconut Creek Fl. It is going to be a spectacular time with new subjects, some of the animals will be ones that I could never offer before in my past workshops. As usual I will have the normal 30-40 species including, the red-eyed tree frogs and colorful dart frogs. “NEW” this year will be a station set up for in-camera image stacking on the Canon R5 Mirrorless camera.There will be numerous shooting stations with real plants, flowers, leaves, and bark for natural looking background environments. The results will be photos that appear to be taken in the wild, yet actually looking better than in the wild. You would have to travel to over ten different countries to find this array of colorful species. There will be nothing between you and the subject to interfere with image or lighting quality. Another thing “NEW” this year will be a new technique showcasing appropriate subjects on gorgeous mirror surfaces with colorful backgrounds, something that I have never done before.
Things you will learn but not limited to will be total control of the lighting exposing flash perfectly every time allowing you to produce your best macro images ever, how to protect the highlights from blowing out in your pictures, how to get maximum depth of field and sharpness for small subjects. The weekend begins with a short presentation on macro photography, followed by two days of amazing indoor photography photographing animals from all over the world.Then a full day at the incredible Butterfly World in Coconut Creek where upwards of 20 thousand butterflies are flying free. So don’t miss out on this incredible photographic adventure, for it is for sure to sell out quickly.
Cost for the workshop is $1495 per person if paid by check, or $1595 if paid by credit card.
