Photographing Fabulous Flowers with Raymond Gehman

Description

Flowers are so simple. It would seem so simple…to photograph something so beautiful. However, capturing the true essence of these little universes is far from simple. Join Raymond Gehman, National Geographic photographer, in this one-day workshop that is specifically designed for the digital photo enthusiast who loves nature and wants to more effectively seize the splendor of the floral world. The workshop will include a slide presentation, a shooting field trip, and critique of your images from the field trip. Learn the importance of lens selection, including macro, wide-angle, and telephoto lenses. Learn the importance of lighting, including backlighting and unusual illumination. Learn the importance of selecting the right background. Explore the principles of light, composition, perspective, and visual design as they impact on the artistry of your image. It is easy to take a decent photograph of a flower. But to take one that transforms it into a work of art is another matter altogether.
