Nature Photography Classes
Join nationally recognized nature photographers in classes to sharpen your observation skills and your digital photography know-how. Explore a garden setting after dark or on a lovely day with your single-lens reflex (SLR) digital camera and learn to use editing tools to polish your images. Enhance your smartphone photography skills in a variety of workshops.
Classes are offered in-person, as synchronous (live) online programs, or using hybrid methods with both in-person and virtual content. Class delivery methods are denoted next to each listing as VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, or HYBRID.
Class Schedule January-April 2025
NEW! Smartphone Photography at Night: Gardenfest! | January 5 | IN-PERSON
Night photography has its own set of challenges separate and apart from normal daylight photography. Fortunately, smartphones are well-equipped to handle those challenges – if we know how to take advantage of them.
This is a three-hour class beginning at 4 pm while there is still a bit of daylight left, transitioning to complete darkness by the end of class. Illumination is provided by the 2+ million lights for which Gardenfest is famous. Unlike DSLR photography, tripods are not required, though if you have one with a smartphone rig, feel free to bring it. And be sure to dress warmly!
