PHOTOGRAPHING
THE SPRING FLOWERS OF FERNWOOD
Next session: Saturday, 17 May 2008 (rain date Sunday, 18 May)
The Saturday session runs from 10 am to 5 pm Eastern Daylight Time; if Sunday rain date is required, it will run from 11 am to 5 pm EDT.
Participants will
receive instruction and demonstration on taking better floral photographs among
beautiful settings at Fernwood. A bountiful variety of flowers will be in bloom,
including native prairie and woodland species as well as those found throughout
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.
