Join Meet Market Adventures and other single photo buffs as we explore The Bloedel Floral Conservatory - one of Vancouver’s parkland treasures, through the lens of our cameras. By spending an afternoon in such a tranquil setting and through the passion for nature photography from our instructor, we’ll be inspired to discover the hidden talent buried in all of us.

As we walk through the Conservatory we’ll learn how to get down and dirty to get that perfect shot. Our instructor will share his experiences and take us to the most picturesque spots, so we can feel inspired by the natural beauty inside this spectacular triodetic dome, which is filled with dazzling displays of exotic plants, tropical flowers, colorful 'Koi' fish, and eye-catching birds. We will enjoy the captivating beauty of palms, bromeliads, and the many other exotic plants from around the world while we learn to take great nature photographs.

Whether you have a digital or manual camera we’ll learn tricks that no photographer should be without such as lighting, shutter speeds, f-stops and most importantly composition. So regardless if you’re a seasoned photographer or just getting to know your camera, you will find this adventure informative, light hearted and a visual feast for the soul.

What to bring:  Wear comfortable shoes with sturdy soles and bring your camera of course!
