2 New Butterflies & Blooms Added for July 1 & 2

May 18, 2016

Just one of the subjects waiting to be photographed.We’ve just added 2 more sections of Photographing Butterflies & Blooms due to the high demand. Friday, July 1 and Saturday July 2 were added this morning to meet the overwhelming demand for these special one-off workshops. Beginning at 7 am each day, we’ll meet in the Lakeside Room, Visitor Center to get acquainted with the other members of the group, have handouts and powerpoints, of course, before proceeding to the B & B enclosure. Once there, it’s the only time we will be admitted with tripods that are an essential part of close-up/macro photography. When these sell out, it’s over for the season, so don’t wait! Call or go on line today to register.

School Office: 847.835.8261 or visit www.chicagobotanic.org/adulted/photography.  Butterflies from around the world are just waiting to meet you

July 1 or July 2 from 7 – 10am. Loads of fun, even without brownies.

Weekly Photo Tip

Take the center column away

A definite Sign of Spring.

If your tripod has a center column, you will want to remove it before getting down to photograph spring flowers. Even with a 100-180mm focal length macro lens, your tripod will be too far from the subject. There are two options: 1. purchase a tripod with a removable center column or 2. just purchase a tripod that never had a center column. Of these two choices, I’d opt for the first one.

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
