Deepdale Farm - Our journey will take us through the woodlands and hidden wonders of this incredible organic regenerative farm. These natural settings are teeming with life, offering a perfect canvas for our macro photography experience.
Equipment:
Please make sure you arrive with a fully charged phone battery, we will provide you with the 100x macro clip-on lens. This marvel of technology will allow us to capture the intricate beauty of tiny subjects in astounding clarity. If for any reason you cannot get the clip-on lens to fit your phone, or your phone isn’t working we always carry a selection of high-powered magnifying glasses that offer a similar insight into the miniature world.
The Walk:
We will be exploring a range of habitats on the walk, paying special attention to some of the more commonly overlooked miniature organisms in the landscape, such as lichen, fungi, insects, flowers and more. Even the most ordinary-looking plants and insects can reveal breathtaking beauty up close. The macro lens will help you reveal miniature forests and microscopic worlds of unique colours and textures.
