Do your portraits of wildflowers depict the beauty and depth of feeling you experienced while clicking the shutter? Would you like to have your images “speak” to people?
Wildflowers appear deceptively simple to photograph but your finished product may say otherwise. Natural lighting, breeze, background, and patience are some of the variables that affect the portrait you take.
You will be introduced to easy methods that help you capture the results you desire. This workshop includes visual presentations, demonstrations, and time in the field that will enhance your shooting skills. A review and group discussion will follow the field work. Participants should bring:
-35mm digital or film SLR camera that you are familiar with
macro lens if available
-tripod
-no more than 2 prints to share with the group
-bottled water/beverage, and a bag lunch
-a hat, sturdy shoes, and pants you don’t mind getting dirty, for our time in the field
-a laptop computer or portable drive to share photos taken during our field work (optional).
