Boerner Botanical Gardens

I signed up for this Portrait workshop run by Art's cameras. Great Idea..Right!

Never occurred to me that it was going to be at the Gardens, and that there would be bugs or that it would be "HUMID" (like 86%). Whew!!
Then I find out I need a model too.
AND I realize I'll be shooting without Whiskey. ( My dog )
The whole thing started lookin more and more like a bad idea!

Fortunately for me, I met Lisa.
We partnered up for the shoot and she brought two great kids as our models.

Turns out in spite of all my concerns.. I had a great time!
Since my prior efforts have all been in Nature or Landscape photography this was a learning experience for me.

PS: This moth the kids are on will give you an example of the size of the bugs.
