The October meeting of the Nanango Camera Club will be held from 1:00pm on Sunday (October 18) at St Patrick’s Catholic School library in Nanango.
On the agenda are:
- August and September competition results
- Finalise the Cliff Krebbs competition photos (need more mono “flora”)
- Purchasing studio gear
- Members in two clubs?
- Choose competition subjects for 2016
- Christmas Party
The workshop will look at macro photography. We will hook the camera to Lightroom and shoot onto the big screen.
To get the most out of available depth of field, select a small aperture such asf/16 or even f/22.
You will find that at half-life size, the depth of field you can achieve at f/22 will be only around 15mm at best.
On the other hand, you may wish to go to the other extreme and show as little sharpness as possible by opening up to full aperture like f/2.8 or f/4.
One advantage of the latter option is that any out-of-focus highlights will show as circle-like bubbles that can look very attractive
There’s much more in the art of macro photography.
