Join us in the Gardens to photograph Longwood in the warm glow of morning’s golden light.
During our online orientation, we’ll discuss the best places to photograph the Gardens in early morning and provide top tips and tricks for shooting in low light. Then, we’ll meet 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 best photos.
