During this hands-on digital photography workshop, focus on Longwood’s abundant water features.
Use our Main Fountain Garden as a muse for your water photography … stroll amongst the islands in the West Conservatory and capture moving water … and enjoy the rare opportunity to get into the newly reopened Waterlily Court pools for a frog’s eye view of this spectacular display.
An online introduction to composition and water shooting techniques is followed by a photography session in the Gardens. Afterward, reconvene online for review and light critique with your instructor and peers.
