Composition in the Field - Photography Workshop

You will be venturing to this scenic locale at a perfect time of year to walk away with lovely images of flowers blended in with winding walkways, charming wooden bridges and scenic landscape spreads as well as photographs of whimsical sculptures of various themes, sizes and colors, as you approach the Origami in the Garden display in the meadow. With fountains and streams in every direction you can practice your composition of waterscapes that channel Manet from the world of Impressionism. The themes at Minnesota Landscape Arboretum provide ideal subject matter to hone your skills in operating your Aperture Priority and Shutter Speed Priority, the former for highlighting flowers with crisp focus and blurred background and the latter the tricks to depict water as either a velvety smooth of liquid in a dreamlike manner or a split-second stop action version.

You will practice learning the benefits of a variety of class composition strategies to elevate snapshot photos into compelling images worthy of displays on your home or office. Learn the art of Leading Lines, Rule of Thirds, Panning, Negative Space, Layering and other composition tricks to get your camera to do what you want it to do!!
