Small signs of spring are everywhere on the Japanese Islands, so you’ll want to join us on 4 Fridays beginning May 10 from 9-12 noon. A macro lens could be helpful, but no macro? No problem since capturing larger scenes will be part of the assignments. Will you need a tripod? That’s always a yes and no answer. I always bring one along so when I’m going for an aperture around f18-f22 and a long shutter speed is required, I can breathe easier with no concern about the length of time. This class will be great fun since we haven’t been photographing on the Japanese Islands for several years. Class is limited to DSLR or Mirrorless Cameras.
