Dahlonega Butterfly Farm


Masks may be required indoors, recommended outdoors if close to others.

The Dahlonega Butterfly Farm features a 760 sq. ft. butterfly conservatory, a "containment room" (where the butterflies are born), and an outdoor caterpillar habitat.  You’ll get to see, learn about and photograph the complete life-cycle of butterflies and their importance as pollinators in our environment.  They may even let you "catch" a butterfly in the tropical conservatory so you can observe them up-close.  The outside gardens also offer additional opportunities for great photos.  This will be a fun and educational experience for all!

What we will learn:

  • Equipment needs for butterfly and insect photography

  • Camera Settings for best results

  • Best use of Depth-of-Field

  • Handling backgrounds & photographing in a controlled (Zoo-like) settings

And, of course Larry will be able to help you with all your photography questions!  And pack a lunch and we can continue the conversation in the outdoor garden.
