Longwood Gardens Orchid Extravaganza
Longwood Garden's annual Orchid Extravaganza is amazing!!!! It's one of my favorite times of the year to visit Longwood. Info is at http://longwoodgarden... Plan for this meetup is to meet at 6:30 AM at the Grosvenor Metro Station. Then we can carpool to Longwood. It takes just over 2 hours to get there. My suggestion would be that we plan on photographing in the Conservatory & the Dupont House in the morning - then meet for lunch at 11:30 in the restaurant. After that - depending on what people what to do - either keep shooting - or head on back. Garden admission is $ 18. You can purchase a ticket online at https://tickets.longw... or you can get one when we get there. I doubt there will be problems getting tickets at the door on a Sunday morning for Orchid Extravaganza. But if you want to make sure you get one - go ahead and purchase a an entry ticket for 9 AM on Feb 5

Is anyone leaving from the Capitol Hill area? I'm looking for a ride to Grosvenor Metro Station or Longwood. I will help with gas.

For those intending to bring a tripod or monopod, Longwood gardens requires one to complete a permission form. Here is the link to the form if you wish to fill it out in advance:

really, they want you to sign a waiver that states you can't use YOUR images for advertising, commercial products or services? Interesting. :)

Here is what it says basically: Monopod/ tripod/ easel use by amateur photographers and artists is permitted in the Conservatory and the Peirce-du Pont House from 9:00 am ? 12:00 pm daily.Monopod/tripod/ easel use by amateur photographers and artists is not permitted in the Indoor Children's Garden at any time.
