Photography Class: Master Your Camera Controls - Conservatory of Flowers
Master manual settings in this photography class in San Francisco’s Conservatory of Flowers!
The conservatory’s diverse plant habitats, from the misty tropical room to the sunlit aquatic garden, offer ever-shifting light conditions that challenge photographers to step beyond auto mode. Guided by a skilled instructor, practice shutter speed to freeze droplets on broad leaves or capture the graceful blur of koi swimming in ponds.
Aperture adjustments bring dramatic depth to close-up shots of orchids or carnivorous plants, while ISO settings are fine-tuned to adapt between bright glass-roofed spaces and shaded corners. Explore white balance to render the lush greens and vibrant petals accurately. By the end of this hands-on experience, gain both technical confidence and a gallery of vivid, nature-rich images unique to the breathtaking conservatory.
