SUMMARY:Creative Dahlia Flower Photography Photo Trek
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Macro Photography Workshop at a beautiful dahlia farm\, where you’ll learn to capture stunning close-up images of intricate flower details. Perfect for beginners and more advanced enthusiasts\, this hands-on session will teach you techniques to reveal the vibrant colors and delicate textures of dahlias through your lens. Immerse yourself in nature’s art and enhance your photography skills in a picturesque setting. \nAs this is not a standard garden but instead a grower’s farm\, the main emphasis on this workshop will be macro and close up photography. You will need to be able to photograph your subjects from approximately 2 feet to just inches away. If you do not own a macro lens\, any lens that has a close focusing range will work. This would be an especially great place for LensBaby use. You could also use extension tubes with a midrange zoom to get similar results. The majority of the images shown here were taken on a micro 4/3s 40-150mm lens with an extension tube. A macro lens was also used for detail shots of shapes and textures of the flowers\, as well as capturing praying mantis and other insects. If you like to use a flash and diffuser\, those would also work great here. \nInstruction will be given on a pre-workshop zoom session\, to go over images\, lens and other gear choices\, composition\, exposure settings and all the details of the visit. If your camera features the option of Focus stacking or Focus bracketing\, you can learn how to use that for even greater control of focus and depth of field!. Hands-on instruction will also be given throughout the workshop. \nTo continue the learning experience\, there will be an image review via zoom after the workshop\, to review images\, and go through composition and editing tips. \nJoin us for this 3 hour immersion into color\, shapes\, textures and more! An early morning start may lead to the added bonus of dew drops on the flowers! \nThe garden is in the Greater Allentown\, PA area. Exact location will be given upon registration.
