Sunday, March 30 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon
Field Trip to Wellesley College Botanic Gardens and Greenhouses with a focus on Close-Up photography
This field trip will build on Greg Crisci’s presentation: “Macro Photography Nice and Easy”
Greg’s presentation included many close-up photos of flowers, accompanied with
explanations of how he created the images, what equipment he used, and how the
equipment was set up.
This field trip will allow the participants to see Greg in action at the Greenhouse. Greg has
agreed to lend his expertise and his equipment to the participants
Of course, Greg will not have equipment for every photographer. Therefore, please bring
your own tripods, macro lenses, diopter lenses, extension tubes, reflectors and flashes –
whatever you have.
As in all BCC field trips, each photographer will shoot his / her own photos. Greg will
demonstrate techniques, help participants select and compose proper images, and advise on
equipment choice and set-up.
The Friends of Horticulture, which manage the greenhouse, have agreed to let us use the
greenhouses for our photography, as long as the number of photographers is limited to
12.
Therefore we have to ask members interested in this program to register by email at
