Enjoy macro flower photography? Try taking it to the next level as we bring exotic flowers into the studio to photograph with studio strobes and backgrounds. Get photos with the vibrant colors, controlled lighting, and backdrops unavailable in a natural setting.


6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

We have extended the time and number of studio settings to allow for greater access to photograph the flowers. The stations will be ready at 6:00 pm but you may arrive later or leave earlier.

Registrants pay a small fee to assist in the purchase of all the flowers.


    
Check out last year's Flowers in the Studio gallery.



NOTICE: This is not a class but a group photography opportunity in the studio. There will be many stations setup with flowers and it will be difficult to ask any detailed questions during this session. If you are not already familiar with studio lighting then you are encouraged to take the Flowers In The Studio workshop on Monday March 5th.

Description
Elk Along Canyon Rim

There's so much to see and photograph at this beautiful park. You can hike in the morning and then take the photographers tram in the evening to shoot the wildlife, limestone bluff, tumbling waterfalls, bridges formed of native stone or hand-crafted of wrought iron, and even a covered bridge of Amish construction.

Come early and explore the park by foot or rent a bike. Then at 3:00 p.m. we will gather at the visitor center to board a tram that provides a wonderful opportunity to photograph the extended areas of the park including the Elk and Buffalo that grave the fields above the canyon. Unlike the normal tram this special extended tram will provide you with opportunities to disembark at key locations to take pictures.

This is a great event and back by popular demand for the fourth time! There is a fee that must be paid in advance so that we can pay the contract with the park in advance. The fee covers admission into the park for the full day and then the special extended tram ride to the outer reaches of the park.
 
Location Your fee includes entrance into the park for the full day. You can go early and hike the rails and take pictures before the tram ride to the rest of the park, or you can arrive just to ride the tram.
