August Reflections in the Garden
Topic: Photography in the Garden
Photography and gardens are a natural fit due to the variety of subjects, types of light, patterns and color palettes available. No matter the season, there is always something to photograph in the natural world. Today we will share my tips for how to capture beautiful images in public gardens as well as in our own backyards.
