Attention All Photographers! Come join macro-photographer Paul Irvine at Manea Park Bunbury as he shares with us his tips and tricks for getting the best macro shots of orchids, insects and spiders.

Paul has been photographing things almost his whole life. He started macro photography with native orchids and then found spiders and insects also make interesting subjects. Paul’s macro photography has even led to the new discovery of a Peacock spider species in his local bush reserve.

Come learn about the equipment, settings and techniques Paul uses to capture high-quality images before undertaking a bush walk where Paul and the Nearer to Nature South West team can assist you in getting photos of the orchids and insects and spiders that call Manea Park home. We will be meeting at the start of Manea Park Walk Trail (off of Somerville Drive).

This activity is suitable for photographers of all skills and experiences. Bring along your camera and macro lens and flashes if you have them. Or bring your mobile phone and get tips on how to get better macro shots with it.
