SUMMARY:September meeting: Macro Photography
DESCRIPTION:Justin Chan – Macro Photography: Exploring Small Worlds\nJustin is a naturalist with a passion for macro photography\, with a primary focus on spiders and insects. One of his photos of a spider received the runner up prize in the 2024 Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year\, in the Terrestrial Life category\, which has been published in Canadian Geographic and other publications. When not working as an illustrator\, he can be found out with his camera looking for bugs! \nPresentation Description:\nMacro Photography opens up a diverse hidden world of arthropods! With high magnification\, these small and often-underappreciated insects and spiders become larger than life\, filling the frame with colourful and intricate detail. Justin Chan is a macro photographer and naturalist based in Vancouver. He will share photos of macro subjects\, such as jumping spiders\, bees\, butterflies\, beetles\, and more. He will then dive further into the miniscule with ultra-macro subjects\, such as springtails\, mites\, pseudoscorpions\, and other mesofauna. Macro photography equipment and techniques will be covered after each section. He will also discuss how paying closer attention to the little things\, and sharing your photographs on platforms like iNaturalist\, can contribute to citizen science\, and even reveal new discoveries. \nHere are some samples of his photography.  (All rights reserved)
