Again in August 2022, a few macro and micro photography enthusiasts came together to dedicate themselves to their hobby. The intensive exchange of experiences and ideas is particularly appreciated. One of this year's special topics: working with PEG (polyethylene glycol), a challenging material that offers plenty of opportunities to make mistakes and learn from them.
Photographic works from recent years are displayed on the walls. The different main themes (insect portraits, needle cross-sections, woodcuts ...) are clearly recognisable.

Quality check
Working with two monitors is very helpful.
