Club Treasurer Julie Fass introduced our guest speaker, Mike Moats.

Mike gave a presentation to The Club via ZOOM about The Properly Equipped Macro Photographer. He explained what macro lenses are available for DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras and informed us how different focal lengths affect our working range. He also gave us a rundown of what equipment and accessories he keeps in his camera bag. Mike went on to explain how he uses narrow apertures like f/22 and f/32 to achieve the large depth of field he requires for his macro photos. Using out of focus photos as backgrounds is another one of his favourite techniques.
The Chatham Camera Club wishes to thank Mike for sharing his time and his knowledge about the challenging area of macro photography. As soon as the warm weather comes, we’ll be sure to put his methods into practice.
