When you cannot get the photo to be perfect you can ask here for online help. We will discuss composition, lighting, how to see your final print through the camera and use creative and inexpensive materials as tools to enhance your photos. Digital and film cameras will be discussed with less emphasis on the equipment itself and more attention on learning the basics of taking a great photo. As readership grows I will encourage you to enter the Garden Photo Contests and Galleries of participants work. I plan to have a juried photography show before the end of next year.
Any age group is welcome to participate from beginning photographers to more advanced amateurs.
Although our focus is on garden photography, anything you find in the garden to photograph is welcome for discussion or critiquing. Your photographs and discussions can include animals, insects or water gardens. Even garden art as long as long as you can find it in the garden, we will include it. I plan to give you a few photo-taking exercises to help you approach your subject from many points of view. I will also write book reviews on garden photography and how-to books that I will recommend for your library.
