LENS CAPTURE

Vol. 3 No. 16


An early August Saturday morning proved to be a blossom-hound 's delight.  As you'll see from my video slideshow below, the pollen transport team was in full operation.

I wanted to take a minute to highlight some of the great images made by the 2010 Spring Walk Participants.  These brave souls, who ventured out in to the pouring rain last Sunday, took advantage of the opportunity to capture some wonderful subjects.  The following images were posted to the LensCapture Flickr Group.

The Spring 2010 Photo Walk started out will a steady rain coming down as 11 of us gathered under the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden Viewing Pavilion.  A pretty nice showing in this weather.  After handing out several recycled Op/Tech 18" SLR Rainsleeves and passing along some tips on using the rain as a subject, the group headed out for, what would be several hours of photographic opportunities.

Here are some photographs I made during the event.  Later this week, I'll post a few images captured by some of the other walk participants.

With our Spring 2010 Photo Walk coming up this Sunday, I took a pre-walk through the Brooklyn Botanical Garden this past weekend.  With the warmer weather we've experienced here in the Northeast over the last few weeks, the cherry blossoms and tulips are in full bloom.  If you can, don't miss the opportunity to experience the colors first hand that are exploding throughout this 52-acre oasis.

Hope you enjoy these images.  Better yet, join us on our upcoming photo walk.  Remember, no experience required.  Point-and-shoot, dSLR, or just your appreciative senses, it will be a great experience.

It's that time of year for our Annual Spring Photo Walk. When the color starts taking over the barren landscape. Blossoms begin to open to show their beauty, the breeze gets a little warmer, the light stays longer. It's Spring in all its glory!

Photo walks are a great way to share your love of photography, and learn from one another. Absolutely no experience is required. You can even participate with a disposable camera.

It's that time of year. When the color starts taking over the barren landscape. Blossoms begin to open to show their beauty, the breeze gets a little warmer, the light stays longer. It's Spring in all its glory!

Let's start a tradition by getting together on Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 10:00 am at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, main entrance location 900 Washington Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11225. The Garden is 52 acres of beautiful theme gardens and walks which was founded more than 99 years ago. The garden sits adjacent to Prospect Park and the Prospect Park Zoo.

As stated on the BBG.org website, during our visit we should encounter, "Lush, intoxicating lilacs bloom in tones of lavender and purple in the Lilac Collection. Azaleas are ablaze in pink, magenta, and red in the Osborne Garden. Tulips explode in every imaginable hue in the Annual Borders and Fragrance Garden. Bluebell Wood is aglow with 45,000 Spanish bluebells."

Everyone is welcome, regardless of your skill level. If you are interested in joining us click - Brooklyn Botanical Garden Photo Walk RSVP.

Here are a few images I've captured over the last few years at the Garden around this time of year.
