  • Thursday, June 14, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm – Floral Photography

    The wonders and beauty of nature are often difficult to photograph. If you plan to be on Martha’s Vineyard on Thursday, June 14, from 4 – 6, join photographer Katherine Rose at the Polly Hill Arboretum to improve your photographic skills through a variety of techniques. Instruction will include understanding your camera’s controls and capabilities, the color of light, long shots versus close-ups, and developing a point-of-view for all your shots. Your own eye is the guide for this late afternoon photo foray at the Arboretum. Katherine was garden photographer for the Boston Globe for ten years and has taught photography at the university level and at Featherstone for the last thirteen years. Pre-register at www.pollyhillarboretum.org, since space is limited. $30/$20 for PHA members.

    On Thursday, March 15, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and Hunt’s Photo & Video will sponsor a horticultural photography clinic at the Boston Flower & Garden Show.  Led by photographer Barbara J. Ellison of Canon USA, the clinic will focus on floral and garden photography techniques and composition.  Barbara will start with a critique of the entries in the flower show’s Photography Competition: why specific photos, subjects and manipulations are representative of an artistic eye.  She’ll spend the second half of the clinic on the floor of the show, talking about how to photography horticulture and gardens, using the garden exhibits as a case study.  The clinic will run from 5:45 to 7:15, and is limited to 25 participants.  Attendees are encouraged to attend Ms. Ellison’s photography lecture, which runs from 4:30 – 5:30 in the lecture hall.  The fee for the clinic is $25 per person, with all proceeds benefiting Mass Hort.  Register by calling 617-933-4963.  Photo below by Barbara J.
