Have you ever wanted an exclusive opportunity to capture the infinite colors and fanfare of our beautiful Illuminated Fountain Performances as well as our Main Fountain Garden as it glows with its nighttime lighting?
Join expert instructor Bob Gross for an evening of learning and practicing nighttime photography techniques. As an added treat, view and photograph a private Illuminated Fountain Performance, set up just for you.
Before the onsite portion of the experience we'll meet online to talk about how best to photograph this storied space at night. After the exclusive shoot, you'll have the opportunity to receive feedback from Gross and your peers in a friendly online critique.
