Capturing Blue Poppies-Creative Photography workshop
This workshop is in cooperation with Longwood Gardens Continuing Education, and is being handled exclusively through Longwood Gardens. Here are the details:
The Himalayan blue-poppy (Meconopsis ‘Lingholm’)—one of Longwood’s most photographed flowers—has both fascinated and challenged avid photographers for years, as the flower’s coloration is one of the most elusive hues to capture in a photographic image.
Join us for this exclusive photography opportunity to capture these beautiful flowers and more with early access to the gardens! Workshop runs from 7-10am, three hours before the gardens are open to the public! Workshop fee includes all day admission to the gardens!
Complete details and registration for this workshop can be found on Longwood Gardens’s website https://longwoodgardens.org/events-performances/events/capturing-blue-poppies
Don’t wait! This event sells out quickly!!!
Please note: If registering to join us, it might be a good idea to keep the Saturdays before and after open, in case projected bloom time changes.
