Macro Workshop at Gooseberry

During the last workshop at Gooseberry and Allens Pond, I saw a large number of subjects that are great for macro photography. Many different types of shells, rocks, seaweed, and other interesting subjects in the tidepools. Also the shapes and colors of the foliage and old dead flowers were very interesting. Therefore, I am offering a Macro Workshop on February 9 starting at 8 AM at Gooseberry. This workshop is through the auspices of South Coast Sanctuary's-All
