This Berkshire Botanical Garden workshop on Thursday, July 15, from noon to 5, will help participants use cameras to see gardens in new ways and bring their garden photography to a higher level. Instruction will cover basic camera functions and digital basics in easy-to-understand concepts and then apply them to the unique challenges of photographing a garden. Participants will spend time outdoors photographing the beautiful gardens at Berkshire Botanical. Following the shooting session review/critique the images made during the afternoon. Participants with specific questions about their camera should bring the camera manual along.
