Travel? Take pictures? Then this is the class for you–2 meetings at the CBG gardens and 2 meetings off campus.

Our first meeting is on May 29 where Heather Sherwood, Senior Horticulturist of the English Walled Garden will give us a behind-the-scenes look at the 6 “rooms” of the EWG for both design and actual planting. Learn how it all gets, and stays, together.

The next class meets at the Bahá’í House of Worship to learn how to photograph its intricate and highly-reflective sides. Then we’re across the street to photograph the boats in the Wilmette harbor.

Class 3 meets at The Grove, National Historic Landmark site in Glenview. This is a wonderful photo venue for both structures and natural surroundings on over 6

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.
