Great Fun at Holiday Lights Photo Classes

December 9, 2013

We held to night photo workshops at the Chicago Botanic Garden last week.

While the first session was rained on (but not out) the intrepid band of students  continued to get shots both outside and inside so a good time was had for the entire evening. Our second sessions, two nights later, found us outside for the entire time since the weather was both warm (41F) and dry. These workshops are always a fun time for both the instructor and the students. Many classes scheduled for new year, beginning on January 10 at Elawa Farm. Call 847.835.1966 to register.  To enroll in Chicago Botanic Garden classes, call 847.835.8261. Hope to see you at one (or more) of these. Happy New Year.

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.
