Course Description:
Is your first reaction when you see a bug, any bug, to grab your shoe and be rid of it? Insects seem particularly scary and alien in our eyes. However, when you start viewing them at their level, they begin to come alive. Details and colors abound in the insect world (as do some pretty remarkable behaviors. The best part is that these amazing critters are all around us, so we always have (if not willing, at least mostly indulging) subjects available to photograph. All we have to do is look in our yard! In this program, Aurora will show you the ins and outs of photographing live insects, both in the natural world and in my 'macro studio'.
