Creative Close-Ups - A Full Weekend Of Photography At The Point

With Harold Davis
This weekend workshop explores the wondrous world of nature close-up. We'll photograph in the studio, and also take advantage of the marvelous opportunities that Point Reyes has to offer for close-up work in the field. Participants will leave the workshop confident in their ability to take a great close-up photograph, both indoors and outdoors. In the field, we'll take advantage of seasonal subject matter such as flowers, shells and bones. In the studio, participants will learn to create and light still life compositions without the use of expensive equipment. This workshop is intended for photographers of all levels. Topics covered in the workshop will include macro photography, still life compositions, photographing natural artifacts, post-processing photos, and staging and lighting indoor close-ups. The instructor, award-winning photographer Harold Davis, author of Creative Close-Ups: Digital Photo Tips & Techniques (Wiley, 2010) and other books, will work individually with each workshop participant to achieve his or her goals. Accommodations included at the Historic Lifeboat Station at Chimney Rock.
