It’s Back!

Thanks to you, the Summer Edition of our Photo Safari was so well received that we just HAD to do it again. We’ll fire up the tram on Saturday, September 28 to explore the signs of autumn in the woods and prairie. Just as in our Summer Safari, the morning begins in the Boyer Room  with handouts and images of the areas. Then it’s out to the tram where I’ll be driving to sites beyond the walk of most visitors, and providing photo instruction once we arrive. All types of

I’ve included a few snaps from the June safari. Why not put yourself in the autumn pictures? The word is starting to spread, so don’t miss out on this wonderful  autumn experience. The Photo Safari is one day only, Saturday, September 28 from 8 am to 12 noon. In case of rain, the TPS will be held on Saturday, October 5.

To register for the Tram Photo Safari–Autumn Edition, call 847.835.8261 or go to www.chicagobotanic.org/photography.

NOTE: You won’t find this listed in the autumn Keep Growing magazine because at the time it went to print, we didn’t know how successful this safari would be. Sign up by phone or on line.

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.
