Illumination: Holiday Lights at Morton Arboretum

Join us to photograph Illumination, the magical holiday light display at Morton Arboretum.  Illumination is a festive light and sound display that highlights the beauty of trees in winter and celebrates the holiday season.  The woodland comes alive with sparkling colored lights, a grove to trees is painted with color and seems to grow and change before your eyes.  Illumination is experienced over about a mile of walking path.

Our group has special early access and will be allowed to use tripods to capture this festive display.  This experience includes:

– Pre-class briefing covering the basics of how-to photograph at night and ideas for composition and creative photos.

– 2.5 hour special access to the light display, allowing us to use tripods.  Expect to cover the 1 mile path several times during the 2.5hr visit.

This excursion will start and end at Morton Arboretum.  This is a rain, snow (we hope) or moonlight event.

The pre-class briefing will be conducted over zoom.
