Macrophotography (or photomicrography) is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects and living organisms like insects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size, although it can also refer to the art of making very large photographs. By the original definition, a macro photograph is one in which the size of the subject on the negative or image sensor is life-size or greater. In his presentation, “It’s a Small World”, Joe will show different methods of making images of very small objects using a variety of equipment from inexpensive to very elaborate set-ups. Where to find those minute subjects will be presented as well.

Many photographers are looking for new opportunities to shoot during inclement weather. Still-life photography may be a new experience. Still-life photography is not limited to venue. It can be done in any weather, inside or out, with a minimum of equipment, and the subjects can be found anywhere. For example: items found in and around the house, such as kitchen utensils, flowers both real and artificial, or tools and antiques make interesting subjects. Mr. Webster, in his program “Instill Life in Your Still Life” will give a history of the genre and provide lighting and compositional tips for shooting artistic still-life images.
