It’s time for our spring Hodge Podge where we explore the world of Macro Photography. There will be a variety of things to photograph. Also, feel free to bring any items from home (doilies, wood chips, marbles, sea shells, flowers, weeds, etc.)

Plan on a fun time! No macro lens is required to participate. We will have equipment to share and demonstrate some techniques for taking macro photographs without a macro lens.

All BPC members are welcome.
