As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers. The Rapids Lake Unit is a great location for Spring ephemerals. These low to the ground flowers only appear in the spring before the trees fully leaf out.
Join us for a lecture on flower photography followed by a photoshoot to practice some of the things covered in the lecture. Don will discuss compositional approaches to getting interesting images that can used year-round for floral photography. There will be plenty of time to ask questions both during the lecture as well as during the photoshoot.
