Student Photos from Recent Workshops
Here are a few student photos from recent workshops I have taught. I had a wonderful time sharing experiences with the students and I’m proud of the work they have produced.
Thank you. Dan Waters
Photographing Flowers through Textured Glass
Here is a fun tip for photographing spring flowers. Try photographing a spring bouquet through a sheet of textured glass. The further the glass is from the flowers the less defined they will be. There is a variety of textures available depending on the look you would like to achieve.
How I processed this image, was to take two photographs, one with the glass and one without, while the camera was on a tripod. Then I combined the two photographs to control the amount of texture.
Let your imagination run wild and enjoy.
Thanks Dan
Don’t forget about the upcoming Flower and Garden Photography Workshop on April 24.

I was on my way over to Lori’s house to work with her on this website Wednesday morning, when I noticed in the ditch along the road a large patch of morning glories. Luckily, I had loaded my camera in the back of the car, I almost went out without it. What struck me about these flowers is how they seem to be glowing and their electric purple, blue and pink colors. So I turned the car around and went back to photograph them.
The moral of the story is be prepared, and if something strikes you don’t hesitate to go back and give it a second look.
These photos were all taken with a 70-200 mm zoom lens and I used the 500 D close-up filter on a few of them. All were taken while using a tripod and self timer with mirror lockup.
Be sure to check out the flower and garden workshop Lori and I are offering!
