Photographing Orchids
Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is a botanical garden located on 380 acres of rolling meadows, woodlands and lakefront property in Belmont, North Carolina. The William H. Williamson, III, Orchid Conservatory is the Carolinas’ only 8,000-square-foot, five-story glass house dedicated to a display of orchids and tropical plants. Our camera club – Catawba Valley Camera Club, Hickory – visited the orchid conservatory a few months back and we are posting images from that trip.
During our visit there was an art exhibition by local students – old doors and shutters painted with orchid artwork.
Photographing Burning Wool
Steel wool photography is a type of light painting that uses steel wool that’s been set on fire. As the burning steel wool is spun around on a cord or a string, embers fly and create streaks of light when shot with a camera at slow shutter speeds.
Our Catawba Valley Camera Club in Hickory, NC had a session on photographing burning wool. It was an interesting project and we will be sharing a few images.
Butterfly House Visit
Our camera club visited Magic Wings Butterfly House at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, North Carolina. It is one of the largest butterfly houses on the entire East Coast and by far the biggest in North Carolina. Any visit here is sure to be an enchanted one spent gazing at the many species of butterflies, and even some animals.
A large butterfly sculpture near the garden at the entrance is appropriate. The 35-foot-tall see-through butterfly house is home to more than 50 different species of butterflies from all over the world.
