G&T Class Visits “Great Wall of Glencoe”

 

 

The CBG”S Garden and Travel class had an up close and personal look at the 1.25 mile long berm wall that runs along the Edens Expressway. Everyone enjoyed this “behind the scenes” tour of places not normally open to visitors at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Students became so engrossed in the surroundings, photographs were kept to a minimum. Wonderful time had by everyone.

Take the center column away

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.
