Description

Deeded by home owners Cal and Harriet Shorts in the middle of the last century, 7.5 acres of a collection of public gardens, streams and ponds, grew to its current state of 53 acres, nestled within the city of Bellevue. A photographer looking for a variety of photo ops is in the right place to capture scenics of looping trail ways and winding paths of woodlands, wetlands, meadows, greenery, budding trees and colorful flowers, both wild and cultivated. Your Digital Photo Academy instructor will demonstrate and supervise a variety of composition techniques to help you get close up macro photos as well as broader views of these picturesque settings, a number of them including elevated terraces for bird’s eye perspectives and striking outdoor sculptures to add an additional dimension of aesthetic to your photo. This locale is actually compiled of several different gardens, each offering its own visual perspective, allowing you to choose from hearty bushes and trees to rock gardens, native plants, rain gardens, orderly layouts of carefully designed spaces to naturally grown settings left by the randomness of nature. A variety of stories can be told with your camera thanks to the various ferns, creeks, small lakes, a ravine and suspension bridge. Using any of the charming seating areas with wooden benches, your instructor will demonstrate the concept of environmental portraiture, depicting an individual or individuals in the visual context of natural surroundings that project personality and narrative to the people in the photograph.
