Macro Photography Meetup

Macro Photography Meetup

Sunday 12 July
Cambridgeshire - 10am - 2 Hours
Mark Parker
Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.

    It was a very informal and informative session with Mark. I'm not as advanced in my photography skills as the rest and have a camera with some limitations but Mark was very helpful with both of this limitations.

    Mark is very knowledgeable and professional, he's also very easy going and has a great style and explains things clearly. The day was dry and coo but quite windy which gave some interesting challenges, I would definitely do another session with Mark

    The weather was cloudy so we didn?t get to see any stars which was a real shame, however Mark was engaging, informative and gave the group lots of advice and helpful tips. As a beginner I did struggle a bit as the rest of the group were more experienced but Mark was very helpful.

    It was really good that it was a small group and that whilst we spent some time talking through the principles and being shown some good examples, much of the session was actually trying it in practice with on-hand advice to discuss photo options and approaches, and provide valuable advice on even on past photos as to how one could have improved it, which was very helpful

    Mark Parker
    Everyone calls Mark, Happy Bob (misspent youth!) and he's a 20-year plus multi award-winning photographer and videographer, based in Peterborough, UK 2013 although he travels all over the county and to destinations if needed.

    He tends to do a lot of wedding photography and editorial, but I also does other work such as corporate, events dog and horse photography and families. He loves street photography too, but he rarely gets a chance to indulge his passion.

    Mark Parker is available for private bookings

    Always happy to run 1-2-1 classes and workshops. I specialise in street photography, black-and-white, macro, beginners classes, composition but I am open to anything that people would like to cover.

    I enjoyed a photowalk event with Laurie Gallant and the Sacramento Photography group visiting Horton's Iris Farm. I always bring my Infrared camera with me in hopes of getting some good IR shots. When I saw the old red truck, I HAD to shoot it in IR! This is one of my favorite shots from that day and will go into my portfolio for sure!

    I was on holiday in Sydney and I went to Circular Quay to take some night time photos, when I saw that the opera house was lit up. I took a couple of photos ,then went to change my lens.By the time I had done this I saw the lights on the opera house had gone out. I then realised it was a rehearsal for Vivid a Sydney winter light show which takes place around the harbour.
