Developing a Photographer's Eye for Roses

Roses are sensuous, colorful and cry out to be photographed, yet the photographic results can be disappointing. Walk with Dency Kane on a learning path to better photographs. Make images with greater impact whether you use a point and shoot or more advanced digital camera. There will be time for questions after the presentation. If members have prints they wish critiqued, please bring them. Participants will leave with hand-outs listing further resources and self-assignment ideas.

Please join us to for an evening of learning to photograph our roses and to the start of the 2012 season! June will be here before you know it and you will be prepared to take gorgeous rose photos!
