Garden Photography and Waterperry Gardens

Last week we had a very interesting 2 days Photography Course. Our tutor spent Thursday and Friday mornings explaining us the basics and techniques of photography and in the afternoons we visited the Oxford Botanical Garden and Waterperry Gardens, placed 7 miles from Oxford.

A bit disapointing the Botanical Garden, as the staff was renovating and changing most of the flower beds. Nevertheless we were able to put in practice all the knowledge acquired the first day, making (and not taking) loads of different pictures (panning shoots, slow motion, freezing action and the easiest one, don’t give a damn shoot).

Waterperry Gardens instead were fabulous. I had never been there before and, besides being a garden centre, a tea shop, a restaurant, a museum and a Gardening School, it holds a lovely and a quite a big garden, where to walk freely while making nice shoots.
