Water & Reflections Class Needs a few Students for 8.4.15

July 21, 2015

From single drops to several acres, water is everywhere at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and this is the class that will focus on which camera settings to use when. Class begins at 8 am to allow time to beat the heat and get great images with no sweat. We need a few more students to run this class, so why not sign up soon and join us for 4 fun-filled photo Tuesday mornings. Click on this image to see all the water that was just waiting to be photographed.

To register, just call 847.835.8261 or visit www.chicagobotanic.org/adult education.

Water is everywhere at the CBG, so grab your camera & join us.

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.
