SUMMARY:Rami Saikali: Fungal photography\, macro photography\, and high mag
 nification photomacrography with microscope objectives
DESCRIPTION:When:\nMonday October 21 7:00 PM\nDenver Botanic Gardens\, Stur
 m Auditorium\n\nSpeaker:\nRami Saikali\n\nTitle:\nFungal photography\, mac
 ro photography\, and high magnification photomacrography with microscope o
 bjectives!\n\nDescription:\nLearn how a camera and lens (including your ph
 one!) works to capture windows into the natural world at any scale\, inclu
 ding of pretty fungi! We will discuss basic and technical considerations f
 or taking photos of your subject of choice -- including down to the micros
 copic scale -- with a camera and various lenses. We will cover fundamental
 s and equipment selection that inform you of what techniques may be availa
 ble for you to express your vision in differing conditions and tell the st
 ory you want to tell\, with cute and curious fungi peppered in. Learn abou
 t: depth of field\, aperture\, illumination\, diffusion\, exposure\, iso\,
  chromatic aberration\, equipment\, photo stacking with a live demonstrati
 on\, how to work with microscope objectives\, and how to improve the fungi
  photos you take with your phone.\n\nBio:\nRami is interested in fungi of 
 all kinds and sizes. They became interested in mushrooms primarily from a 
 foraging perspective in Minnesota around 2015 and upon moving to Colorado 
 they promptly discovered the mushrooms were for some reason the same yet a
 lso a little different. That sparked learning about what a genus was\, whi
 ch led to finding out about cryptic species complexes\, and it's all been 
 downhill since then. Rami is keenly curious about fungi as exploring the f
 ield frequently challenges our ability to remember language and categoriza
 tion as human communicative endeavors rather than "real" descriptions of t
 he natural world as it "truly" exists. This large knowledge gap between an
  underexplored field and our senses and intuition is exciting as it allows
  for creative speculation and experimentation similar to when other scient
 ific endeavors were nascent\, revealing shimmering opportunities for obser
 vation\, imagination\, and experimentation. Rami is interested in taxonomy
 \, art\, identification\, microscopy\, toxicity &amp\; edibility\, photogr
 aphy &amp\; photomacrography\, and probably more things we're forgetting t
 o list.\n\nStreaming\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/8896485
