First, join instructor Bob Gross in an online orientation during which we’ll discuss the best places in our Gardens to photograph natural beauty in the early morning—and learn some top tips and tricks for shooting in low light. Then, use what you’ve learned by meeting in the Gardens to photograph just as the sun is rising. After class, we’ll reconvene online for a friendly critique and to share our favorite photos.
