Photo Techniques and Tips


​TIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING GARDENS ( condensed FROM GCA)
  • ​It’s All About the Light   When photographing nature, you have to pay close attention to natural light – it can make or break a great shot. If you plan to take pictures of landscapes, you’ll get better results if you shoot in the morning or late afternoon.  The golden hours  are at sunrise and sunset.  
  • Weather   A bright sunny day is both your best friend and worst enemy.  Dynamic weather that is in the process of changing (i.e. before or after a storm) almost always produces dramatic light. After a rainfall is a great time to go out to shoot in the garden.  Look for the light being reflected in the raindrops, and how saturated your colors will look. 
  • Camera Direction    Watch the angle of your camera. Move around to see how the light changes. Direct light can be strong and dramatic.    --   (Tips condensed from Wendy Concannon, Wissahickon GC, Zone V)
