Join Denise Ippolito for a fun weekend of flower photography. Says Denise, "We will meet Friday evening at Chanticleer Gardens at 4:00 pm and we will shoot till closing at 8:00pm. Then we will then head out for a pizza party and Photoshop session in a relaxed atmosphere. Group participation and sharing will be encouraged. Saturday morning we will meet at Longwood Gardens at 8:45am and photograph in the conservatory until 12:00 noon, then we will enjoy a nice lunch together with image review and critiques. Your admission ticket is good all day and you can re-enter the gardens to photograph till closing if you like.

I recommend that you bring as many different lenses as you can for a variety of shots: macro lens, zoom lens, lens baby, wide angle, and medium telephoto lens. Tripods are always recommended and encouraged. We will be working with natural light, diffusers, reflectors. We will explore creative compositions, work on proper exposure and effective use of DOF."

Workshop Description
These workshops are designed for wedding photographers, portrait photographers, photojournalists and serious amateurs who want to improve their knowledge of lighting. This workshop begins with ways to create wonderful light using a single speedlite and continues to add a 2nd and 3rd speedlite and progress to using studio strobes.

To learn about portable lighting techniques that have enabled Rick Friedman to capture his on location, award-winning imagery around the world, sign up and join in for one of his upcoming workshops. One of the key things that he will share in a "very hands-on way" is how to better control your lighting. This dynamic, intensive, interactive seminar is designed for portrait photographers, photojournalists, corporate and event photographers, wedding photographers, and serious amateurs who want to improve their knowledge of illumination and light. If you attend Rick's class, you can plan on leaving feeling empowered to capture great images no matter what lighting situation you come up against!

This workshop begins with creating interesting light with one Speedlight, progresses through using multiple Speedlites with many different light modifiers, using grip equipment, adding colors to your images and ends with mixing both Speedlights and studio strobes. Rick teaches using both Nikon and Canon.
