INTRO TO CLOSE-UP/MACRO WORKSHOP
This workshop will explore the equipment needed for macro photography, digital cameras, lenses, tripods, heads and accessories. Also covered will be camera functions, techniques, depth of field, lighting and a powerpointe program on composition. I will shoot a couple of images, show how I process them using photoshop and print them. This is a instructional workshop and you need not bring any equipment to this class. The workshop will run about six hours. Check for dates and costs below.

INTERMEDIATE CLOSE-UP/MACRO WORKSHOP
This workshop is for the photographer who has a digital SLR camera, lenses with macro capabilities or standard lenses with extension tubes, a good tripod/head and the know how to work all the functions of the camera (change f-stops, exposure, ISO, white balance, etc). Various subjects will be set up and shot, then processed using photoshop. The workshop is held indoors and will run about five and a half hours. Check for dates and costs below.

ADVANCED FIELD WORKSHOPS
In the advanced field workshops all the qualifications are the same as in the intermediate workshops, but it will be held in an outdoor location. We will be shooting natural subjects in the field. Shooting will be the main subject, and no time will be spent after the shoot on processing images. The days, costs, and locations will vary. Check for dates and costs below.

ONE ON ONE WORKSHOP
This is a one on one three hour workshop starting in the early morning, week days only. We will work on composition, depth of field, camera positioning, shooting with natural light. You can call and set your own date. $59.00 for three hours. mgmoats@yahoo.com, (586)770-399

  1. I am interested in learning more about your workshop :September 29th $39.00
    Best Western-Executive Inn, Ann Arbor, Michigan:
    I live in Kentucky and want to come to MI to travel around and do a bit of photography. Your workshops sound like just what I want. Short, good price and interesting. I am open to most of the dates from Sept. 25 on thru fall. If you have openings let me know.

  3. Elsewhere on this site I just left a comment in praise of Mike’s intermediate macro workshop. I mentioned that a student needn’t have a pricey true macro lens to benefit from the workshop. I have only close-focusing zoom lenses and extension tubes. By the way, if you can’t attend one of Mike’s workshops (or even if you can), check out the superb images and helpful tips in Mike’s book. (I have no commercial interest in this. I’m merely a fan who met Mike for the first time on the day of the workshop.)
