Being a fan of macro myself, with some experience, I found this session very basic but well presented.
Fabulous tips.
Thank you for making this simple and understandable. I felt that it was too much talk about tips that one can pick up on the internet, and nothing substantial was learned. The lack of special skills and techniques (for example, taking photos of insects) was disappointing. I also struggled to see the focus in many of the photos of plants and flowers, and where there was focus, it was only a tiny speck. Your way of minimalism is interesting, and your sense of color schemes is kind to the eyes.
Thank you! James Dempsey is a great presenter. Very easy to listen to, engaging and so natural. He shares his expertise so well, making it easy to follow. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t able to access the second part of his presentation, as no video came up with the bonus material.
New or almost new to this? Great for you!
A very good story by James Dempsey.
