Welcome to the enchanting world of macro photography! Join us as we embark on an adventure to explore the hidden treasures of the miniature realms in nature, using a 100x clip-on lens that transforms almost any smartphone into a portal of discovery. All pictures will be taken on your own phones, so you will get to go home with all the images and memories from the walk.
This marvel of technology will allow us to capture the intricate beauty of tiny subjects. We will be exploring a range of habitats on the walk, paying special attention to some of the more commonly overlooked miniature organisms in the landscape, such as lichen, fungi, insects, flowers and more. Even the most ordinary-looking plants and insects can reveal breathtaking beauty up close. The macro lens will help you reveal miniature forests and microscopic worlds of unique colours and textures.
This walk will be led by David Atthowe of Reveal Nature. See Reveal Nature’s amazing gallery of microscopic images HERE
