Summary:
Feelin’ groovy? How about a Flower Power Macro Shoot at the New York Botanical Gardens? Bring your imagination! This class should be a lot of fun.

We’ll discuss the nature of Floral Macro Photography and explore the magic of capturing images close up.

Macro Extender Rings are much less expensive than Macro Lenses. In my experience, they work as well or better. Many third party Extender Rings are as effective as name brand and third party Extender Rings are less expensive.
