Photography Class: Master Your Camera Controls - United States National Arboretum

In this exciting photography class at the National Arboretum, you will gain hands-on experience with camera controls as you explore the beauty of native plants, bonsai trees and classical columns. 


A professional photography instructor will provide detailed instruction and guide you through adjusting white balance and aperture for natural-looking plant portraits and capturing the texture of intricate leaf veins and textured tree bark. You will also have the opportunity to work with exposure compensation to balance light and shadow, perfect for photographing both dense woodlands shadowed in mystery and open meadows glowing in the sunlight. This unique class offers a deep dive into settings for your mirrorless or DSLR camera that will allow you to capture the arboretum’s seasonal beauty, from delicate spring blooms to autumn’s fiery colors. The skills you walk away with will last a lifetime.
