SEEING WITH MACRO LENSES

Macro subjects can be found anywhere, and Palm Springs is rich with fascinating opportunities. Canon’s  Macro Lenses Photo Walk will explore the grounds in an around the Festival area of Old Palm Springs in search of macro subjects. Beyond typical macro subjects like plants and flowers, we’ll look for insects, rocks, unusually beautiful leaves and tree trunks indigenous to this California desert area and perhaps urban archeology too!.  We can find patterns in ordinary objects when working in close proximity with our super sharp macro lenses. We will be thinking small and making great images on this photo walk.

THE TELEPHOTO EXPLORATION WALK

When we think about travel photography, most of the time we shoot our images with focal lengths from about 24mm to 100mm. Canon’s Telephoto Exploration Walk is designed for you to use your creativity by forcing you to use your telephoto or telephoto zoom lens to isolate your subject from the background or compress a whole city block into one frame. Join us on this photo walk and see travel & stock photography from a whole new perspective. 

Wednesday, May 9. 8:45am – 12:00pm.  Meeting Point: Canon / Samy’s Suite in the Sponsor Headquarters of the Palm Springs Hyatt:  Prompt departures so please be on time.

CREATIVE EXPLORATIONS IN THE ANCIENT PALM CANYONS

We will head to the vaunted Palm Canyons to photograph North America’s oldest living, unspoiled palm oasis. This opportunity to photograph in this unique desert environment is unparalleled. We will head out with a variety of lenses with only one subject in mind –Discovering a landscape unchanged for centuries. Untouched by human intervention and kept that way by the Agua Client Band Of Cahuilla Indians upon whose land this famous palm oasis sits. We’ll bring a great assortment of Canon cameras and super sharp Canon lenses for this expedition. “Creative Explorations in the Ancient Palm Canyons will put your imagination to work. It may seem daunting, but we can choose our lens from wide angle to telephoto. This photo walk will force you to think outside the box to create great images in an exceptional landscape.

Palm Springs is an amazing travel photography destination.
