NEW! Water & Reflections Class starts July 9th @ CBG

June 23, 2014

Ever wondered about the best ways to include water in your photos? Then join us on Wednesday mornings for this new Chicago Botanic  Garden Class. In it, we’ll explore many of the sites that are in or near some of the 81 acres of water in the garden. Some weeks will concentrate on adding water to the photo. In others, the reflections in the water will be our subject. Each of the 4 weeks will be both challenging and exciting.

Still waters create a perfect reflection.

This class meets in the new Lakeside Room in the Visitor. What an appropriate spot!  To register, call 847.835.8261 now while some openings remain.

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.
