SUMMARY:Historic Lansdowne Theater Photo Trek
DESCRIPTION:History-\nThe Lansdowne Theater is a historic theatre building located in the commercial district of Lansdowne\, Delaware County\, Pennsylvania. \nThe Lansdowne first opened on June 1\, 1927\, as a turn-of-the-century movie house. Its elaborate and ornate style earned it acclaim as “the best example of suburban theatre construction around Philadelphia.” For more than a half-century\, it thrived as one of the premier hosts to movies and stage performances alike\, before an electrical fire forced its doors to close in 1987. \nAt long last\, calls to reopen the Lansdowne have been answered. A multi-million-dollar renovation project has restored the theater’s original charm and décor\, empowering the majestic theater to continue its century-long legacy. With its grand re-opening in 2025\, The Lansdowne looks to reclaim its status as one of Philadelphia’s foremost suburban theaters and entertainment hubs\, welcoming guests back with open arms. (from the website) \nOver the years I was able to take part in several photography workshops here-and even lead a few of my own. These were incredibly well received by photo enthusiasts who love to photograph abandoned or almost abandoned places\, and other architectural jewels. Even with the peeling paint\, construction lights and other visible decay\, the theatre was a great place to create some fantastic images. The centerpiece was the gorgeous chandelier\, which remained in tact\, and was a highlight to capture during the visit. Here a few “before” images \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nNow that the theater has been restored\, we’ve secured a private-access opportunity to photograph this amazing place once again! \nJoin me for a unique\, educational and fun\, architecturally-focused photographic event!  We’ll discuss everything you need to know to capture beautiful images of this architectural gem on a pre-trek zoom. Focus will be on nailing exposure in very tricky lighting conditions\, creative composition\, creating panoramic images\, emphasizing the beautiful details of the space and more! \nThere will also be a post trek image review where participants can share their images and get tips on editing\, composition and more. Join us! \nPre-registration is required. A minimum number of participants is needed to run the event. Register now to secure your spot! Register by Thursday April 9th at 6pm to join the pre-trek zoom information class. \nThe Lansdowne Theater is located at 31 N Lansdowne Ave\, Lansdowne\, PA \n

SUMMARY:Spring Blooms Photo Trek-Date Change!!!
DESCRIPTION:In April\, Longwood Gardens comes alive with spring bulbs and tulips in rainbows of color. Watch as spring color seemingly explodes to paint the landscape in vibrant hues. Tulips\, daffodils\, dogwoods\, wisteria and more herald spring’s arrival indoors and out. Breathe in the fresh spring air and relish the beauty as we photograph in the Idea Garden and Flower Garden Walk\, where more than 240\,000 tulips burst into bloom! \n\n\n\nThis Photo Trek will focus on creative composition and  learning to see more creatively. Our focus will be on composing gorgeous images of the grand landscape\, as well as getting up close and personal with the amazing details before our eyes. \n\n\n\nAmong the many techniques discussed will be how to creatively compose images to bring out the character of the subject\, learning to see and use light creatively\, using fill flash and diffusers to control harsh light\,  the use of circular polarizers to deepen color saturation and more\, in-camera multiple exposures and other creative techniques! \n\n\n\nGreat for all levels of photo enthusiasts with any camera gear. \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: DSLR with fully charged batteries and lots of memory. Tripod and cable release. Circular polarizer. Lens hoods. Macro lens or close up accessories-helpful\, but not necessary. Knee pads. You will receive an email prior to the trek with detail on what to bring and all the details. A pre-trek zoom session will be held the week prior to go through teaching techniques and all the details. \nThis workshop is being held during the week to maximize photography apart from the huge weekend crowds. Trek is rain or shine. In the event of rain\, we will spend our time photographing inside the gorgeous conservatory. \n\n\n \nGroup is kept to a small number of participants in order to allow for plenty of personal assistance. A minimum number of participants is needed to run this trek. \n\n\n \nCost of workshop does not include admission to Longwood Gardens. Timed Tickets are necessary to enter the garden-for members as well as non-members during Spring Blooms. Please secure your timed ticket as soon as you register for this trek. DO NOT WAIT until the last minute! Longwood tickets sell out quickly! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n
