Photographing the Fall Landscape
Discover and photograph fall colors at the Arboretum. Learn and apply landscape techniques for creating striking images while learning composition and photo enhancement. The workshop includes a classroom digital presentation, an illustrated handout, and shooting sessions with the instructor. The program also will introduce stitching (panoramas), focus stacking, and combining multiple images for creative effects. Participants can e-mail the instructor two JPEG images from the workshop for a written critique. Bring ALL photo equipment, including a digital memory card, extra batteries, and camera manual. A tripod is optional but highly recommended. Point-and-shoot cameras are welcome and can work quite well, but participants are reminded that these cameras have limited options.
Instructor Joshua Taylor Jr. has presented photography workshops at the Smithsonian National Orchid Show, the U.S. National Arboretum, the U.S. Botanic Garden, as well as for public gardens, preserves, and horticultural societies across the region. In addition to teaching in the Smithsonian Studio Arts Program and at the Corcoran School of Art and Design, he exhibits his work regularly and speaks at camera and garden clubs.
