Join us for a monthly photography meet up out in the gardens! Each session of this program series will have a theme, and you meet as a class to discuss the theme and set your objectives. Then you're let loose in the gardens for 45-minutes to practice before meeting back up with the group for a light critique and peer discussion about what you saw, captured, and learned.
This will be an ongoing monthly series, so you can attend one, some or all of the sessions. The ever-changing garden will surprise you with new delights each time. This meet up is a great way to learn new photography skills, capture some great photos, and make new friends. Cell phone photography is welcome. Great for teens and adults.
The themes for the classes are below:
First Meet Up, June 24 - How Landscapes Can Tell Stories
Second Meet Up, July 29 - Close Ups and Use of Light
Third Meet Up, August 26 - Storytelling with Central Objects
Fourth Meet Up, September 30 - Flat Lay Photography and Autumn's Bounty
