You Are Invited:
Join noted garden and landscape photographer Alan Detrick for a special workshop on digital garden photography at the beautiful Matthaei Botanical Garden and Conservatory at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Limited to fifteen students, each attendee will receive individual attention during an afternoon photo shoot. A lecture on digital basics completes the first half day.
The next morning, the subject is digital workflow – from capture to computer. Whether you are in the beginning stages of digital or have been shooting for years, Alan’s professional experience, insights and ideas make this a worthwhile event for everyone.
