Fotobug - Episode 106 - Critter Closeup Workshop

Join Jim and Fred for the Critter Closeup Workshop in St. Petersburg, FL.  In addition to learning about equipment and techniques for closeup and macro photography, the participants were able to photograph exotic insects, reptiles and amphibians in a variety of settings.  Thanks to John and Emir for providing us with a gaboon viper, eastern diamondback rattlesnake, giant day gecko, as well as a red-eyed tree frog, poison dart frog, a death stalker scorpion and a tarantula.
