Arnold Arboretum
Arnold Arboretum
Join our photo lessons at the Arnold Arboretum, which is one of the excellent locales in the rotation of many Boston Venus that offer terrific photo opportunities.
Venue Description:
Thanks to the whaling merchant James Arnold, who bequeathed a portion of his estate to Harvard College about 150 years ago, we now have the Arnold Arboretum as one of the gems of the city’s park systems. The voluminous collection of plants, trees, gardens, flora, and fauna, conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted, has quickly grown to 7 miles of gardens, pathways, and views, now recognized as part of the famous “Emerald Necklace.”
Students of the Harvard Agricultural School have access to valuable resources for research, while photographers have endless opportunities for capturing soothing water scenes, landscaping, macro photography, and, if willing, a view of the Boston skyline from the top of the Arboretum hill. Every season offers new images to add to a photo portfolio, with exercises in various photo compositions, from leading lines of the winding lanes to the Rule of Thirds layout and colorful studies that convey a cool, quiet atmosphere or a vibrant wake-up call.
