Macro photography is one of my favorite things to do.  I love getting in close and getting detail.  The pointers that I learned in class…

  • put oil, glycerin, or water on objects to make them pop.
  • using hair spray can create a frost effect
  • you can also use glycerin and water mixed together (half and half) to give the same effect.

I love the practical hands on fun.  The last hour of this class we spent taking photos of jewelry and flowers using a light tent.  (Click here for instructions on making an inexpensive light tent.)  All I know is photography can be an expensive hobby!
