Jenkins Arboretum

May 8, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm

Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens is one of eastern Pennsylvania’s great horticultural and environmental assets. As a botanical garden, the Arboretum maintains a collection of trees, shrubs, wildflowers and ferns in a tranquil, naturalistic landscape. In addition, the Arboretum features a diverse collection of rhododendrons and azaleas from around the world. The unique landscape and diverse plant collections provide sanctuary for a variety of birds, insects and other wildlife.

Join us as we capture the beauty of spring blooms in one of the most intimate yet lesser known gardens in the area. Winding wooded paths weave through gorgeous azalea blooms, where the colors will mesmerize you as you capture amazing images. Meeting in the morning will provide the best light to capture the beauty of the landscape. We will focus on the intimate details, as well as the grander view of the gardens, using a variety of techniques. Special attention will be given to composition, exposure and lens choice, as well as how to use different lenses to control perspective and direct the viewer’s eye. We will work with reflectors to help control the light, and other useful accessories. A detailed email will be sent to all participants prior to the trek. Feel free to contact me with any questions prior to the event.

This workshop is for beginners, as well as more advanced enthusiasts. No special equipment is required. Recommended equipment is wide angle to mid range telephoto lens, a macro lens or other close up accessories such as extension tubes. Also polarizers and lens hoods for each lens are highly recommended.

Trek is from 9 am – 12:30 am. Rain date will be Sunday May 9, same time.

Group size will be kept to a smaller than usual size as a COVID precaution. See other COVID policies listed. A minimum number of participants are needed to run this trek. Please register early to secure your spot.
