Ever wonder how a close-up/macro photographer gets such beautiful pictures of flowers with soft bokeh backgrounds? What goes into selecting the right subject, gear, etc.? When we see beautiful subjects we find ourselves taking a few pictures, then walking away. What attracted us is now a memory. We know why we took the picture, but perhaps it wasn't the picture the camera saw that our minds-eye did. This course will begin to teach you how to analyze flowers and select the correct gear, and the right tools of the trade to get the best image possible. I will teach you how to work on a subject. I will inspire you to not only see the subject but to see it creatively and in new ways.
