In this presentation, professional photographer Joey Terrill will share subject ideas, creative solutions, and innovative techniques that will transform the small world into larger than life images. Through example pictures and detailed descriptions, Joey will share a variety of techniques that will expand and enhance your macro capabilities. He will discuss specialized techniques like focus stacking, high magnification, water and oil droplet photography, refined lighting, and some key techniques and tips that lead to successful macro image making. He will also discuss many of the tools he uses for precisely moving both camera and subject, how to control lighting measured in millimeters, sources for readily available backgrounds, and some exotic gear that makes macro captures much easier.

Fantastic Focus: A Simple Technique for Incredible Results
The fascinating images created using focus stacking are often described as "three dimensional," "hyperreal," or "extraordinary." Focus-stacked images appear razor sharp with textural quality that is usually impossible to capture in any other way. And, with the latest camera technology, focus stacking becomes nearly automatic. In this presentation. Joey will share many images that use focus stacking, discuss several gear choices that will make your captures more successful, review appropriate camera and lens settings, demonstrate with stills and video why focus stacking is very different from depth of field, discuss workflow and software options, and recommend subjects that will make your first attempt at focus stacking a success.

During this hands-on session, Joey will demonstrate some specialized lighting techniques that will lead to successful image making on the tabletop—or in the field. He will share some creative ideas for precisely illuminating your subjects, how to shape light using simple tools, and he will show you how beautiful light can add a massive boost to your images.
