| Description: |
The Hahn Horticulture Garden at Virginia Tech presents a Zoom Talk titled "A Beginner’s Approach to Garden Photography" on Wednesday, February 10, 2021. This talk is all about using your eyes, your mind, and your camera to capture moments in your personal landscapes. They may be your gardens, vignettes from your travels, seasonal records of your favorite plants, and/or features of landscape designs. Presentation content is example-driven, and provides understandable and uncomplicated information to create aesthetically pleasing images in a relatively short period of time. While equipment details and camera mechanics will be mentioned, they will not dominate the presentation. Instead, the impact and exploitation of prevailing light, elements of photographic composition, the power of mastering depth of field, and developing a personal style will be emphasized. This presentation is particularly relevant for and geared towards early stage photographers who use a variety of devices, including DSLR’s, mobile/cell phones, or both. The Zoom presentation will be led by Robert E. Lyons, Professor Emeritus University of Delaware and former Director of the Hahn Horticulture Garden and Faculty Member in the Virginia Tech Horticulture Department. You can register via this online form and a zoom link will be provided: https://virginiatech.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4Ymy3HGvrxExkxf The talk is free and all are welcome.
