#TULIP FASHION ART MANUAL#
Manual focus on the lower left petal edge. This tulip image was created at the Willem-Alexander Pavilion at Keukenhof, Lisse, Holland with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM lens and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital camera body. While denise will hunt you down to help you my teaching style is more “the closer you stay to me, the more you will learn.” The sky, of course, is the limit. And though I have learned a ton about flower photography from denise, our styles and our techniques do vary to some degree. Both her creativity and her willingness to share and to help beginning and intermediate photographers are–in my experience–unmatched. First off, denise is an amazingly skilled and caring instructor. There are several huge pluses to this trip. For Kinderdijk we will do our best to be there on a sunny afternoon with west winds as there are some birds there as well as the windmills.

Those who wish to try for birds will do so on sunny afternoons with west or southwest winds. We will try to do Amsterdam on a cloudy day. We will check the weather and play everything by ear to maximize the photographic opportunities. Other than the arrival date: April 17, Day 1, and the date of our last photography sessions on April 24, Day 8, there is no set itinerary. Join us in Holland next year and learn to see creatively with a variety of focal length lenses. Click on the image to see a larger version.

This tulip center image was created at the Willem-Alexander Pavilion at Keukenhof, Lisse, Holland with the tripod-mounted Canon Telephoto EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM Autofocus lens and the Canon EOS-5D Mark III. And we might be able to find a few Great-crested Grebes at a location near Keukenhof. We would be photographing them from the roadside. The big attraction should be gorgeous Purple Herons in flight at a breeding marsh. We will spend an afternoon in the lovely Dutch town of Edam where we will do some street photography and enjoy a superb dinner.įor those who will be bringing a big lens we will likely have an optional bird photography afternoon or two or possibly three. On another day we will have a wonderful early dinner at Kinderdijk and then head out with our gear to photograph the windmills and possibly some birds for those who bring their longs lenses. There will be optional visits the Van Gogh Museum in the morning and the Anne Frank House in the afternoon there will be plenty of time for street photography as well.
