Chicago Botanic Garden
Jul 2026

Please join us at the Chicago Botanic Garden Saturday July 25 at 7 a.m. (better light, fewer people) mentored shooting session and feedback opportunity. Park in Lot 1, go through the Visitors Center (bathrooms will be open just inside the doors), keep walking past the Crescent Garden through the Esplanade straight to the brick portico entrance to the Landscape Garden. We’ll start the outing with taking photos in the gardens as desired.
Roger will be available to help you solve the problems of depth of field and how to handle the background in the English Wall Garden from 7:15 to 8:15 and the Rose Garden from 8:15 until 9:15.
If you want to experiment with Flashy Flowers technique we can work on that. After 9:30 Roger will be in the Garden View Cafe to critique your work.
Questions? Call Roger at 224-223-2532.
