Some Images My Clients Created at Longwood Gardens

I can’t really take credit for any of the creative images below since my clients were all so great to work with and so very talented. I do hope I inspired them to try some new techniques. Below are a few images that Bob and Dawn Miller (both BPN members) and Mary Stamper (my new best photog partner) sent me from my last workshop at Longwood. They were so beautiful I wanted to post them and share them with everyone. Mary, Dawn and Bob have all signed up for another one of my Softer Side of Macro Workshops. This one will be at Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne PA on May 20th in the late afternoon. Art Morris will also join us as a co-leader. Should be a fun evening!!

Mary’s eye for high key images and softer looks really appeals to me.

    A wonderful collection of imagery from your participants. Looks like it was a very productive day for them. I particularly like Mary Stamper’s pink tulip image.
