It’s not too late to join me for a week of photographing flowers in early May in Philadelphia.

I still have a few openings in my May 5 – 11 Photographing the Gardens Workshop. You can learn more about the workshop and register at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/photographing-the-gardens-of-philadelphia-may-2019/

 

During the workshop we’ll explore and photograph at several of the gardens in the Philadelphia area including

  • Bartram’s Garden where Philadelphia’s gardening tradition began,
  • Longwood Gardens with its extensive gardens on the former estate of Pierre S. and Alice du Pont in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania,
  • Mt. Cuba Center with its native plant gardens and landscapes in Hockessin, Delaware,
  • Winterthur Gardens where Henry Francis du Pont designed his estate to be a work of art showcasing nature’s beauty,
  • Chanticleer Gardens established as a pleasure garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania, and
  • Shofuso House and Gardens, a Japanese Garden in Philadelphia.

 

We’ll also spend time discussing how to create the photographs you envision in the field and in post-processing. Talks during the workshop will include

  • Capturing What You See. We’ll talk about composition, lens choice, depth of field and using a tripod,
  • Nuts and Bolts of Flower Photography. We’ll talk about F-stops, shutter speeds, ISO, exposure compensation and histograms,
  • Quick Edits in Lightroom. We’ll talk about a few quick edits you can make to your photos that will make them “pop”, and
  • Working with Textures in Photoshop. We’ll talk about ways you can add another dimension to your photos using textures.

I’d love to have you join me for a week of photographing flowers in America’s Garden Capital.
