Transform your garden photos from simple snapshots into stunning works of art! Whether you shoot with a professional DSLR or a smartphone, this evening workshop teaches you how to see and capture Wellfield Botanic Gardens in a whole new light.

On Monday, September 14th at 6:30 p.m., under the guidance of Ron Zimmerman, you will explore the Gardens during the magical “golden hour” to practice composition, light management, and macro techniques.

About the instructor: Ron Zimmerman, a self-taught natural history photographer for over 40 years, has taught workshops in Alaska’s Inside Passage and many national parks including Denali, Katmai, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Zion, and Bryce Canyon, to name a few.
