Focus Groups with Image Galleries:

Macro Photography See more Macro Photography images.
Macro photography is all about taking pictures of small objects that reveal details not seen with the naked eye. It usually requires that you get up-close and personal with your subject. The members of this group get a glimpse of the world of the very small and share their images on flickr®.
Facilitator: Susan Brazelton
Meets: By invitation for Shootouts
Night Photography See more Night Photography images.
Vincent Van Gogh once said that the night is more alive and richly colored than the day. Low light levels and long exposures make night photography a challenging yet rewarding experience. Learn the necessary skills from the other group members and you too can become a successful night photographer.

Do you feel inadequate because you have a puny point and shoot (P&S) camera in your pocket while your friends are lugging around digital SLRs? Well don't! P&S cameras have many of the features of their larger cousins. Members of the P&S focus group learn to use their P&S cameras to its greatest potential and take great pictures.
