🦋 Butterfly House Photography 🦋
Details
Join us at the Horniman's beautiful Butterfly House in Forest Hill. It is an inspiring location, the grounds, the museum and the butterfly house, where you can get up close to hundreds of butterflies in the tropical indoor garden.
We'll look at macro photography, shoot butterflies and afterwards we'll wonder the grounds where the flowers and wildlife will be our subjects. We can take advantage of the grounds, a museum and everything this amazing location has to offer.
We will have some extension tubes to practice macro photography (see below) for anyone who wants to try them.
