About the speaker:

Helge Masch ( www.helgemasch.de ) is not a professional photographer, but a gardener, but his passion is photography. He has been using his SLR camera since he was 16. In this course he will talk about his practical experiences and, without using a lot of photographer jargon, inspire people to take up macro photography. His tip: don't despair. If you bring home ONE perfect photo from a photo tour, you have achieved a lot!

Please familiarize yourself with your camera and the settings outside of the automatic programs and bring the camera's operating instructions with you if necessary.
