Introduction to Macro Photography with Dave Jackson

Join Pitsford Nature Reserve volunteer warden and renowned local photographer, Dave Jackson, for a macro photography workshop. Dave will be sharing his hints and tips during short walks onto the reserve looking for a range of subjects to photograph including beetles, bugs and butterflies.

A basic knowledge of your camera’s settings will ensure you get the best out of the day, however, great shots have been obtained using a mobile phone. A macro lens is desirable with a mirrorless or DSLR camera as is a tripod and flash but not essential.

Weather permitting and with assistance of the site warden we’ll be able to photograph moths that have been caught overnight before they’re released.
