Photography Walk

In the annual event "Moonlight in the Garden," the JCRA is decorated with an elaborate design of garden lighting that beautifully highlights the garden's key botanical features. It is a magical time to visit the gardens, but it can be challenging to capture in a photograph if you are not used to nighttime photography.
In this special session, Mary Louise will start in the classroom, explaining the key equipment and techniques she uses to successfully capture the illuminated garden. Then the class will transition to the gardens to practice these techniques with Mary Louise's guidance. Participants are welcome to continue to photograph and enjoy the gardens after the session, until 8 pm.
Photography Walk fees include entrance fee to Moonlight in the Gardens event for the night of the class. The Photography Walk is a special preview event and takes place on an evening when the event is not open to the general public. This is an exclusive opportunity to be able to photograph the nighttime event using a tripod, an essential tool for sharp night images.
