This "focus on" event concentrates on garden photography and in particular, composition and framing, in relation to plant portrait photography.
Kew Gardens is absolutely beautiful and a photographer's dream if you love taking pictures of flowers, trees, wildlife and stunning vistas. It's very easy to get to (on the District line) and there will also be the chance to view the best images taken from gardens across the world at this year's Garden Photographer of the Year exhibition.
The event will take place whatever the weather – please come prepared for rain, cold or blazing heat! It's suitable for SLRs and compact cameras, costing £5 plus an entrance fee of £13.50.
Focus On: Garden Photography
Concentrating on just a small area of Kew - inside the Palm House and around the Rose Garden - I will show you how to photograph plants in various ways. We'll discuss subjects such as:
Finding a viewpoint: Kew's glasshouse walkways will help with this!
Using macro: how to use depth of field and your macro setting/lens
Plant portraiture: using compositional skills to really capture a portrait
Shooting vistas: looking at techniques for shooting landscapes at Kew
We'll meet up after an hour to discuss how we are getting on and a chance to ask any questions. We will then continue onto the Temperate House before finishing the session at the Pavilion Restaurant.
The meetup will officially finish at 1:30pm but there is the chance to have lunch together and view the Garden POTY exhibition before exploring the rest of Kew as we wish.
