I visited Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden yesterday. I usually just take pictures of wild things, but i thought I'd try something different. While I was there, a very enthusiastic young man came over to ask about my camera. He showed me his D5100 and asked about my close up pictures. I let him take a few shots with my macro lens and he was so appreciative. That made me feel good.
Glad to read of your 'hands-on tutoring' experience.
