I just finished adding a number of pages to this site on Macro and Close-Up Photography. I have meant to add informative and useful pages to the site for some time, but the real impetus to do it is the mentorship presentation I am giving for members of the Enchanted Lens Camera Club. I'll be giving the presentation from 7 PM to 9 PM this coming Tuesday evening, February 11. I have no idea how many will attend, but I'm hoping for a good crowd and a good discussion. I'll be doing it as part lecture and part live demo, so it should be interesting - for me if no one else! Anyway, even if you do not come to the presentation, take a look at the macro pages; maybe you'll find something useful. If you find any errors, please take the time drop me an email and I'll fix the error and thank you for the help. Thanks in advance...

Here's a fine opportunity for some shameless self-promotion. On September 27-29, 2012, I am leading a photo workshop at White Sands National Monument. It is titled "Digital Color Photography at the White Sands," and is part of the White Sands Institute, sponsored by NMSU-Alamogordo, White Sands National Monument, and the City of Alamogordo.

From the brochure:

"Photograph beautiful White Sands, one of the natural wonders of the United States. This workshop will include indoor lectures and field photography sessions, demonstrations, and hands-on tutoring of digital photographic techniques. Early morning and sunset photo sessions, including moonrise, will present unique opportunities."

The cost for the seminar is $200. For more information or to register, contact: NMSU Alamogordo Community Education, phone: 575-439-3842 or go to www.nmsua.edu/communityed/ and click on White Sands Institute.
