About our Program
Club member David Winchester has been wowing us with his macro photography during our critique sessions. I asked him to give a program on his work and how he does it, and he agreed! You don't want to miss it!
Dave has had photography as a hobby for around 40 years. He is strictly an amateur and does it because he enjoys it. He started out carrying an Instamatic in the service and bought an underwater camera (Nikonos) in Japan. He got introduced to close-ups through the underwater photography. He then bought a used Nikon F and 5 lenses from a pro getting out of the business. One of the lenses was a 105 micro and it quickly became his favorite.
He's always just shot pictures as he had time or a place. When he retired about 18 months ago, he started shooting more. He found pixoto, tried it, and now shoots almost daily in his yard.
