Extreme Macro Photography: Discovering the Secret Lives of Plants and Animals In-Person
Did you know that each compound eye of the honeybee has approximately 6900 lenses? Or that butterfly wings reveal a mosaic of tiny overlapping scales that resembles patchwork quilts that help them regulate their temperature? Or that plants have evolved to reflect UV light to make themselves highly visible to pollinators?
Discover the secret lives of plants and bees with macro photographer Becky Lewis. Participants will learn the inspiration behind the photographs, and the detailed process that makes extreme images possible.
Come learn about the specialized techniques used to capture these images, from lenses, to lighting, to focus stacking.
You will walk away wondering if it is art or science or maybe both.
