SUMMARY:Creative Photography Workshop at Longwood Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Tired of sitting around staring out the window at the cold\, gray skies\, longing for Spring? Me\, too\, and I have a great way to chase away those winter blues for you! \nAt Longwood Gardens\, winter is anything but cold and dreary! Step inside the warm 4-acre conservatory and the new West Conservatory. Feel the warmth and breathe in the scents of Spring! Discover vibrant orchids and countless other spring beauties crafted into exquisite arrangements and forms.  \nJoin us as we photographically explore the beauty and intricate delicateness of a wide variety of flowers and plants. We will spend the morning photographing exclusively in the main and potentially west conservatory. The emphasis of this workshop will be on capturing the beauty we see in a more creative way. We will focus on the big scenes by creating depth in our larger\, landscape images. We will do this by using a variety of creative compositional techniques. For those interested in the tiny details\, we will also discuss and practice Macro & Close UP photography techniques. These will include best practices for photographing without the use of a tripod (which are no longer able to be used indoors:( \nSuggestions will be given for recommended gear-but you will be shown how to come away with great images with whatever gear you have. Additionally\, we will discuss white balance\, exposure and depth of field\, how to find or create a clean background\, overcoming focusing challenges with Focus Stacking\, dealing with contrasty light\, use of fill flash\, creative composition\, and more! We will also explore how to take your creative possibilities to a new level with Soft-Focus lenses\, accessories and In-Camera Double Exposures. \nWorking with whatever camera gear you have\, you will receive hands-on instruction and feedback\, as well as learn in a fun and friendly environment. A wide angle\, telephoto\, macro lens or close focusing accessory are recommended for this Trek\, but again\, we will work with whatever gear you have. A detailed email will be sent prior to the event with everything you will need to know. \nTo help facilitate the learning process in a way that allows for more in-field shooting\, there will be a pre-trek Zoom class the week prior to the workshop. As an added value to help round out your learning from the event\, we will have a post-trek image review\, also via Zoom. Participants will be able to share images and get feedback during the image review\, and as part of our private Facebook group-for our workshop attendees only! \nGroup size is kept small to give the greatest opportunity for learning. Sells out quickly! Sign up now to secure your spot! \nAdmission to the gardens is not included in the cost of the workshop. Longwood Gardens members do not need a Timed Ticket. All non-members do need to go online and get your timed ticket for 10am. https://longwoodgardens.org \nIn case of inclement winter weather\, we will reschedule for Saturday\, February 1st. \nLongwood Gardens is located at 1001 Longwood Rd\, Kennett Square\, PA 19348 \n(Note: Images shown are from a variety of years and not an exact representation of what is currently on display)
