Outdoor Photography Session with Jerry Sullivan

Saturday, August 6^th, outing to Benson Sculptor Garden in Loveland with Jerry Sullivan as our Photographic Expert, guest and guide was fun as well as informative.

We spent our first hour getting familiar with our cameras, talking

about settings (how and why), and addressing individual questions

participants had.

Our efforts next concentrated on shooting a single object (piece of sculptor) with

different camera settings to see and learn how changing settings will affect your shot.

As the garden was under transformation for this week’s Sculptor in the Park show, are focus next took us to the flora around the lake where we experimented with depth of field, composition, light and movement.

This was another extremely informative, interesting, and fun FRC2 gathering, we were fortunate to offer the group because of Jerry Sullivan graciously giving his time and expertise.

Our thanks go out to Jerry for his continued support and participation with FRC2, and we look forward to seeing you all Saturday, August 13^th for the Sculptor in the Park show, Benson Sculptor Park
in Loveland.

BIO
I started my art career later in my life, as my love for fantasy. I used to take a more serious view of life, therefore all that I read, had a reality base to it. I now embrace the magic in life and want to share that view with others, through my art and the written word through children's books.

I also create calendars, with the same theme. I love and have studied mythology, astrology, psychology, and metaphysics.

I use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and watercolor as my medium.
