About our Program

Club member David Winchester presented a program on his macro and closeup photography last year and has continued to wow us with his work during our critique sessions.

This time, he'll present a demo / workshop. He'll show us his equipment, demonstrate it's use, and then take a macro photo during the meeting and show us how he processes it in Photoshop.

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 recently, he started shooting more. He found pixoto, tried it, and now shoots almost daily in his yard.
