The Evening Lecture at Mike’s Camera in Park Meadows will provide you with guidelines for making great pictures at Hudson Gardens.

The Shooting Workshop at Hudson Gardens is led by Mike’s Camera’s Joe Klocek and Scott Dougherty. Working with Joe and Scott, you’ll have the opportunity to photograph irises, roses, lilies, herbs, vegetables, water features, beehives, birds and much more!

The Follow up Critique at Mike’s Camera in Park Meadows wraps up the workshop with a fun and rewarding critique. We’ll review your best and not-so-great images from the day at Hudson Gardens and share techniques that really worked (and learn from those that were not as useful). You’ll be astonished by the immense variety of images that will have been captured and spend some time giving and receiving informative feedback.
