The Garden Club of the Back Bay

This Berkshire Botanical Garden workshop on Thursday, July 15, from noon to 5, will help participants use cameras to see gardens in new ways and bring their garden photography to a higher level. Instruction will cover basic camera functions and digital basics in easy-to-understand concepts and then apply them to the unique challenges of photographing a garden. Participants will spend time outdoors photographing the beautiful gardens at Berkshire Botanical. Following the shooting session review/critique the images made during the afternoon. Participants with specific questions about their camera should bring the camera manual along.

Rich Pomerantz, one of this year’s Garden Club of the Back Bay speakers, is a full time freelance photographer who specializes in garden photography for books, and magazines. Rich’s images have appeared in periodicals including Garden Design, Traditional Home, Horticulture and Fine Gardening, and Brides Magazine. Rich’s book Great Gardens of the Berkshires was published in October, 2008.  The workshop will cost $50 if a BBG member, $60 if not.  Bring a digital camera to class.
