One of my macro portraits of mountain pinks from the workshop. |
For the first time ever, I registered for a photography workshop, mainly because the sessions focused on close-up (macro) photography. John and Kendra Abbott with Abbott Nature Photography hosted the weekend crash course at Flying X Ranch at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge northeast of Marble Falls. Great learning experience!
John showed us all kinds of flash and lens setups. |
Some of his equipment (he brought a LOT) was QUITE amazing. |
The Abbotts (that's Kendra smiling) also brought live animals for photography sessions. |
We practice shot plants and animals in light boxes. |
We went outside, too, to photograph subjects. |
My portrait of an ironclad beetle taken in a light box. |

My portrait of a lovely Texas tan female, taken on glass over black velvet. |
Thanks, John and Kendra! (And Bri for taking this photo) P.S. This is my 1,000th blog post!!! |

So.... if you now need a macro lens for a Canon Camera, I'm selling my Cannon 100mm Macro IS. I love macro but can't keep up with a bunch of lenses and a big camera as a homeless person.
What??!! You OK?! I use Nikons, not Canon (which was the majority camera used at the workshop).
Stunning photos Sheryl - eye candy!
