I had the pleasure to be involved with the Earth Day Celebration at the Camera Education Nature Photography Workshop held at Canon U.S.A. today.
Just recently, Canon Americas Headquarters has been awarded LEED® Gold certification, a recognition for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of high-performance green buildings. And to celebrate Earth Day, activities and information booths were set up for employees to learn a bit more about being green, and learn about macro photography with Canon DSLRs and Canon Macro lenses and Speedlites.
That's where I come in. I was asked by members of the consumer product group to assist in two 2 hour hands-on workshops photographing flowers with Canon gear. A quick powerpoint presentation was given by Jay, then the fun started!
We had three different stations set up, with different flowers to shoot, and a multitude of gear to shoot it with.
Of course I had to "test out" the flowers before anyone got there to make sure they were photogenic enough!!
