Macro Photography Meetup

Saturday 24 June

Frick Environmental Center, Pittsburgh - 10am - 2 Hours

Thomas Pietryka

Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye. The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.
