SOLD OUT July 10th 2010 THE LILYPONS IN FULL BLOOM - PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Beautiful country side to photograph beautiful lilies, lotus and bees, and lots of other wonderful scenery. A great place to learn your Macro, Wide Angle, and Telephoto skills, along with outdoor lighting techniques. Learn to put your images together with proper composition. Learn to see your subjects in different ways. This is a class for all levels of photographic expertise.
Note: There is an
enrollment limit for this course and
registration is required.
"Lilypons is located on over 300 acres of
natural ponds, woods and rolling hills, next to the
Monocacy River. Graceful weeping willows greet you
as you curve around the entrance drive. You may catch a glimpse of a great blue heron taking flight or the
opening of a waterlily in the early morning."
THIS CLASS IS FOR ALL LEVELS.
The bees can be wonderful. That is if nature is cooperative. I got some great shots of those hard working creatures.
There is an incredible variety of water lilies to photograph. The colors and shapes are exceptional. Lots of Lotus are also in bloom this time of year.
Our instructors are here to
help every step of the way. Whether it's teaching you composition, assisting with getting the light just right, control of the depth in your image. We shall be here to assist you.
It is, as always our goal to make this a fun and rewarding as well as educational experience.
