Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.

    Kimberly was very helpful and provided advice on camera settings and places to move to get the best shots. While we were waiting for the sunset, she talked with us and answered questions on different camera features. She also provided some helpful tips on street photography.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Kimberly Halbrook
    Kimberly has been a photographer since the age of 14, beginning with her dad's 35mm SLR camera. It wasn't long before she started shooting film with full manual settings. Soon afterwards she started shooting with DSLR cameras. In her college years, she went on to developing her own rolls of film and producing prints in the dark room. During her studies, she took black & white film art photography classes, expanding her knowledge of camera techniques and creativity. Recently she has been sticking to shooting with her mirrorless camera. She enjoys teaching classes to those who aspire to broaden their photography skills and network with other photographers.

    Title or Location: Marineland beach
    This was captured at the second jetty at Marineland beach. After moving from another location I felt the sunrise and would best be shot at this angle for a 30 second long exposure. As with all my pictures, this was taken on a Nikon D850, with a Nikkor 16/35 F4 lens.For this type of shot I generally shoot at F8, with my ISO at64 .All post processing it done in a combination of Photoshop and Skylum's Luminar Neo software.

    Title or Location: Off A1A over spoonbill pond N Jacksonville Fl.
    To my surprise, my primary objective that evening wasn't to capture the spectacular launch of the Falcon Nine. Unaware of its scheduled occurrence, I had no intention of documenting it. Instead, accompanied by a few companions, I ventured to Spoonbill Pond with the aim of capturing the awe-inspiring sight of the Milky Way. Originally slated for 2 a.m., the launch time coincided with the successful achievement of our initial goal. Convincing one of my friends to linger for the 5 a.m. (I received

    Was trying to capture something unique for the locals. I missed the full moon by a couple days but thought the reflection would be a neat thing to capture behind the epic pier. This was a long exposure shot with a manual fisheye lens on the canon R5.

    Looking for a chance to capture and aircraft taking off from Manchester Airport and just happened to spot this high-flying (KLM) aircraft that was heading straight into the correct path for a moon shot - so I took it. Luckily, I had around five or six shots before the aircraft flew past the moon and on its way. Camera info: Canon 5Ds with EF 70-200mm f2.8L USM lens with 2x converter. Processed through Capture One by Phase 1.
