Chatham Closeup, Focus Stacking and Landscapes

We will meet in the Chatham Manor parking area.

Tulips and some flowering trees should be in full bloom at Chatham by late April, so it should be a good time to practice some closeup, focus stacking and landscape photography. We can also practice panoramas, if there is an interest in that.

Almost any lens will work. If you have a lens in the range of 24MM to 105MM or 120MM, it could be useful for a variety of shooting.

If you want to try close-up photography, it would be good to bring a macro or longer zoom lens. A tripod may be useful, but it's not necessary, unless you plan to focus stack images. A tripod would also be useful, but not necessary for a panorama.

If your camera has a focus stacking and or the focus peaking feature, we can also work on those techniques. If your camera doesn't have the focus stacking feature, you can manually focus stack. You will need software like Photoshop or Helicon to stack the images in post processing.

This event is intended to be an informal workshop where we can practice techniques that will help us all grow as photographers.
