Springtime Tulips at Burnside Farms
Join Kim Kelly for a springtime floral journey as we tip toe through the tulips. If you’ve ever dreamed of looking out over the tulip fields of the Netherlands, look no further than Burnside Farms in Nokesville, VA. In late March to mid-April, the fields of this farm burst with 2 million+ tulip and daffodil blossoms in all of the colors of the rainbow.
Photographic opportunities include landscape vistas down to the intimate lines and details of these floral gems. Learn how to see flowers and gardens in artistic ways. Explore aspects for Macro/Close-up photography including equipment needs, focusing tips (outdoors), camera settings, lighting and compositional techniques.
Recommended Equipment: Digital camera, lenses choices to include macro, lenses in the range from 18-200 and a tripod. A polarizing filter, extension tubes, diffusers and reflectors, if you have them.
Participants wil need to purchase a $25 admission ticket to the gardens, more detailed information is in the confirmation email.
Note: We can’t control Mother Nature so if the blooms are earlier or later, we may need to adjust the date of this class. If that happens and you are unable to make the new date, you can receive either a full refund or a credit code to use for a future purchase.
