Macro Photography Workshop at the Cradle

Macro Photography Workshop at the Cradle

Capture the magic of macro photography with one of the Southeast’s best-known macro teachers, Les Saucier. Les and Janet will lead participants through a day in the forest at the Cradle of Forestry to photograph summer flowers, mountain ferns, carpets of lush moss and seasonal insects, all up-close and personal through your macro lens.
