Macro Photo Club Online

As a pro macro photographer, I have always wanted to create an online Macro Photo Club, and it’s finally happened.

The Macro Photo Club is a place where members will experience a new way of learning. Members will have lots of benefits and fun.

The 1st of each month, members will have a link to 12 videos that will cover a variety of themes, plus a video newsletter. Finding subjects in the field, how to compose them, and working the camera techs. Videos covering equipment and post processing tips will also be covered.

Members may send me one image per month, and with the entries I will choose 10 images for a video critique.

I have a facebook group set up for members to post images. In the monthly video newsletter, I will have a macro theme for you to go out and shoot, and members can post their images of that theme on the Mike Moats Macro Photo Club site on facebook.

I will randomly choose club members to be featured macro photographers on my website blog, and all social media connections.

The Macro Photo Club has some great sponsors who are generously offering free products that I will raffle off. Present sponsors, Tamron, Hunts Photo, Vanguard, Acratech, Lensbaby, Topaz, Wimberley, Hoodman, Lens Flipper, Think Tank Photo, Datacolor, Thompson Photo Accessories, and adding more in the future.

This is just the beginning and hope to expand to more benefits as we go.

Yearly membership fee is only $39.

Macro Photo Club Testimonial

Here is a nice Macro Photo Club testimonial from a member, Chris P.  Thanks Chris.

Mike Moats Photo Club is outstanding value. Mike is so generous with his time. Each month he provides practical learning information in short videos to support the monthly theme. That alone is makes it so worthwhile. When you join the group you also get input from peers as well as helpful comments and feedback which is often provided on images posted. This is great way to view others work and learn from each other. On top of that each month a sponsor offers free gear and one lucky member is chosen as the winner. I have been involved in many on-line photography groups and I don’t know of any other on-line group that provides such abundant material at such great value. Thanks Mike!
