May 2021 Meeting

Some really nice subjects are right in our own backyards or maybe in a nearby arboretum, park, or botanical garden. Spring flowers, fruits, veggies, structures, or a an entire garden could make a nice subject, using techniques from macro to landscape. The use of natural light is ideal, especially when it is bright but overcast. The soft, diffused light is perfect to reveal detail. Maybe try a diffuser if it’s otherwise too bright, or take your subject indoors if necessary. And please don't forget: This theme is about SPRING gardens and is open to photos taken ONLY in the spring. But the good news is you can use photos taken in the spring of 2019 and 2020 as well as this year.
