Workshop: Make Your Flower and Garden Photographs Special
Presented by Arts Advocates at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, 1534 Mound Street, Sarasota, FL 34236
April 27, 9:45 am-1:30 pm
Ever wonder why some of your flower and garden photos just don't look as spectacular, stellar, or special as you expected? Instructor Suzanne Havens will teach you how to make more compelling flower and garden photos through demonstration and hands-on practice in the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens learning center, gardens and conservatory. We’ll cover composition tips; taming the clutter; taming the light and shadows; flexibility with exposure: speed, aperture, and ISO; going beyond auto setting; and tactics where tripods are not allowed. This workshop will cover both beginner and intermediate concepts, and is not specific to a particular camera model, so you may use your smart phone, fixed lens camera, and advanced camera with interchangeable lenses. You need to bring your camera to practice. A complete list of suggestions of what to wear and bring will be emailed to you upon registration. $60 per person, limited to 15; registration at ArtsAdvocates.org.
