According to various tourism numbers, approximatelyMacro photography is a pursuit that’s a calling card for most photographers at some point in time during their quest to find what fuels their creative fires. Some find early on that they enjoy this specialized vision, while others find it stifles their creativity to see the world in such a small spectrum.

Fortunately, almost all digital pointand- shoot cameras manufactured today offer a macro capability of some form. Obviously the DSLR means we must purchase a macro lens to take full advantage of the intended flexibility this advanced system offers.

BIO

DALE WILSON is a professional photographer who has been home-based and working out of Nova Scotia and/or Newfoundland for the best part of 25 years.

When he is not behind a lens he is probably writing magazines articles (he has written in excess of 100), trying to convince a publisher this book idea is the best yet (he has published four and contributed to countless others), lamenting the challenges of the stock photo industry (he is represented by Getty and Masterfile), or counting his blessings that he doesn’t know what it is like to have a real job.

You can visit his website at www.dalewilson.ca or his blog at www.dalewilsonphotography.blogspot.com


Dale is now a regular photo columnist for Outdoor Photography Canada magazine, the first Canadian national outdoor photography magazine of its kind.
