Up Close and Personal: Macrophotography Methods - Alan Cann

This is a talk for people who want images that look beautiful - and help confirm species identities for biological records. Alan Cann has built up a collection of thousands of digital images. This talk will take you on a photographic journey through the methods he uses and show you the results. As someone on a budget he prioritises economical solutions, and follows Sir Dave Brailsford's philosophy of marginal gains. Join us online for a photographic journey through the fine details of specimen photography.
