PHOTOGRAPHING LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL AT FERNWOOD
Next session: September 2008 (dates TBA)
Participants will
receive instruction and demonstration on taking better nature photographs among
beautiful settings at Fernwood. Lovely summer and fall-blooming flowers will provide a superb camera
subject, and late-blooming prairie wildflowers add variety to the day's schedule
at Fernwood’s lovely gardens. Danny will instruct participants in choosing
good subjects, creating attractive compositions in your camera, how to make
different settings on your camera to bring about the best results, and how to
control and meter light effectively.
Tripods and cameras
with interchangeable lenses or closeup settings and user-adjustable settings are
strongly recommended. Either film or digital cameras work well for flower
photography. Instruction will be tailored to your individual level, whether
beginner or advanced.
