Photography Class: Composition in the Field - United States National Arboretum

At the National Arboretum, this fun photography class provides a perfect setting for mastering composition among landscapes of seasonal foliage, bonsai gardens and architectural columns. 


Under the guidance of a professional photographer and skilled instructor, you will use techniques like leading lines to direct focus through rows of trees and formal gardens. Experiment with perspective to capture the grandeur of the Capitol Columns or create balanced compositions using historically significant and beautiful foreground and background elements. This class is ideal for beginners or advanced students and those using DSLR or mirrorless cameras. It offers the chance to practice field techniques that make each element in your photo a part of a beautifully composed story. You will walk away with a better understanding of your camera and the ability to capture future images with a new eye for detail.
