Insect Photography Workshop June 21
LINCOLN, Neb. — University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension will present an insect photography workshop June 21.
The workshop will be from 9 a.m. to noon at the Lancaster Extension Education Center, 444 Cherrycreek Rd., Lincoln.
Jim Kalisch, of UNL's entomology department, will share his knowledge about close-up photography. Kalisch, a regular on UNL's "Backyard Farmer," is an accomplished insect photographer. John Zrust, Rockbrook Camera, will bring cameras and discuss what equipment works best for close-up photography.
Topics covered will include camera features/settings and equipment, basics of close-up photography, lighting, getting insects to cooperate and much more. Attendees should bring their camera to practice what they learn.
It is expected attendees will have a basic understanding of photographic principles, but need help taking good close-up photos. Participants ages 14-17 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Cost of this workshop is $30 per person or $40 per couple who can share a reference book. A registration form can be found at: Insect Photography Workshop. Registration deadline is June 13.
