SUMMARY:Macro Fundamentals Tuition with Tony North (5 Sessions on Mondays 5th\, 19th October 2nd\, 9th\, 16th November)
DESCRIPTION:Master macro photography from gear and fieldcraft\, to creative techniques and processing\, with award-winning\, specialist expert Tony North. \n(As well as access to all five live sessions\, you will automatically receive links to the recordings\, which will remain available until 1 March 2027) \nMacro photography brings us remarkably close to subjects and details that are easily overlooked\, but consistently producing excellent images requires much more than simply getting close. \nAcross five sessions\, Tony North will take you through the complete process of macro photography\, combining detailed tuition with numerous photographic examples from his own work. \nStarting with equipment and the different ways of achieving high-quality close-up photography\, the series progresses through fieldcraft and understanding your subjects\, the technical skills needed for sharp\, well-exposed photographs\, the creative decisions that make an image beautiful\, and finally the processing techniques that bring everything together. \nMacro Fundamentals 1: Gear \nUnderstand the equipment available for close-up and macro photography and how to choose what is right for you. \nMacro lenses\, extension tubes\, close-up filters and other equipment\, together with the importance of camera type and how different approaches affect the results you can achieve. \nLearn how to test your equipment for image quality and check whether your existing set-up is giving you the performance you need for successful macro photography. \nMacro Fundamentals 2: Fieldcraft \nLearn how understanding nature can dramatically improve your chances of finding and photographing macro subjects successfully in the field. \nProductive locations\, weather conditions\, the best times of year and day\, and the biology and behaviour of insects. \nSee how good fieldcraft can help you approach subjects without disturbing them\, work safely around insects and recognise potential hazards while photographing on location. \nMacro Fundamentals 3: Technical Skills \nDevelop the technical skills needed to produce consistently high-quality macro photographs. \nKnow how camera settings\, exposure and shutter speed affect your results\, how to minimise noise and maximise sharpness\, and how to manage the particularly demanding depth-of-field challenges of close-up photography. \nTony will also explain focusing techniques and focus stacking\, showing when and why these approaches can help you achieve the result you want. \nMacro Fundamentals 4: Artistry \nMove beyond technical accuracy and consider what makes a macro photograph visually successful. \nExplore composition\, backgrounds and bokeh\, lighting and colour\, showing how each can change the appearance and impact of an image. \nSee how creative decisions work alongside technical qualities such as sharpness and depth of field\, helping you produce photographs that are not simply technically sound\, but beautiful. \nMacro Fundamentals 5: Processing \nFollow a complete editing workflow designed to get the best from your finished macro photographs. \nStarting with the RAW file\, Tony will cover sharpening\, noise reduction\, focus stacking\, correcting stacking errors and applying the final adjustments that complete an image. \nLive demonstrations will include Lightroom\, Topaz Denoise\, Helicon Focus and Photoshop\, while the underlying principles will be applicable to similar editing software. \nTony North is a Manchester-based photographer specialising in macro photography. Since taking up photography in 2016\, he has gained numerous awards and distinctions\, including MPAGB and ABPE. In 2023 he was the overall winner of International Garden Photographer of the Year. His combination of technical expertise\, field knowledge and creative photography makes him ideally placed to guide photographers through every stage of producing successful macro images.
