BOTANIC GARDEN, EDINBURGH May 2009

On Monday, 18 May 2009 club members enjoyed an outing to the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh where we spent time photographing plants in the rock garden in the morning and then plants in the glasshouse in the afternoon. Specialist advice was given freely by our very own Liz Cole who also had kindly arranged tripod permits for the group.

Liz runs courses on plant photography at the Botanics and obviously knows her subject well. For further details of her courses see the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh website at www.rbge.org.uk

Also on the website are details of a photographic competition that they are running. Entries must be submitted as prints by 30 September 2009. You can download an entry form from their website.

1st prize is a day in the Botanics with one of their professional photographers!

Many thanks to Liz Wheelans for organising the event and to Liz Cole for her invaluable advice and guidance on the day.
