Fall Color at Gibbs Gardens

Fall is almost here! Come join us to photograph one Georgia’s great places for fall wildflowers and color.

This hands-on photographic workshop takes you to the magnificent 300-acre estate of Gibbs Garden. 

The gardens feature the Arbor Crest Manor and Japanese and Monet Water Lily gardens. It is set in a mature forest with 30 spring fed ponds, waterfalls, and bridge crossings, where the gardens blend masterful design with the harmony of nature.

The focus will be on flower and plant colors and arrangements, ISO's, apertures, shutter speeds, image stabilizers, and lens choices for better photographs in this idyllic setting. And there should plenty of opportunities to practice since fall is a magical time at Gibbs - Cosmos, Water Lilies, Zinnias and more should be on display. Plenty of insect life and a touch of color in trees like the Japanese Maples will also be around.

You will also try your hand at creating beautiful hand-held shots including tips and tricks using bean bags and gorilla pods.  

These skills will translate well for those of you who travel and visit locations where tripods are prohibited.

Gibbs Garden is located in Ballground, Georgia - about an hour north of Atlanta. Directions will be provided at the time of registration.
