Join Heather Larkin, Hunt’s Photo Education, and SIGMA lenses at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society – Garden at Elm Bank in this colorful flower photo walk. You’ll have an opportunity to test SIGMA loaner zoom and macro lenses as Heather shares how to get close up, interesting, and color-filled images of flowers and whatever else you find. This walk will cover lens choice for framing, composing for interest, color wheel harmony, using the natural light around you, and incorporating the background. Challenge yourself to photograph every color of the rainbow! Heather will also be teaching her methods on how to slow down and observe, making sure you can make the most of any photo outing.
