Picturing Your Garden in Winter

By

Want to capture the beauty of your winter garden? Want to bring it indoors? In this exciting seminar, David will inspire you to make the most of winter, exploring the wide range of possibilities for garden-related photography in this least likely season. Immerse yourself in the beauties of winter. Enjoy an illustrated slide presentation filled with insightful images. Hear explanations that will help you photograph your winter garden more poetically.

We will discuss both indoor and outdoor photo opportunities. Learn cold weather camera care. Set-up indoor photo sessions when it’s too stormy to head outdoors.

This lecture will challenge all levels of photographers and all camera types are welcome. Smartphones. Point and Shoots. SLR’s. We’ll even talk about making groovy, garden-related pictures with your old flatbed scanner.

This presentation will work either as a stand-alone, slide lecture or as the opening chapter of a combination, lecture and workshop.
