Composition in the Field - Photography Workshop

Dating back centuries, Green Hill Park initially was a wild and untouched landscape. At some point, it transformed into a farm, and the grounds have evolved into a photographer’s dream. Covering 300 acres, it is now Worcester’s largest public park.

Visit Green Hill Park more than once because the photo opportunities are endless, including two ponds for waterscape photography, an arboretum, many trails, and even sports fields where one can learn the art of capturing movement and action, and much more.

Your Digital Photo Academy instructor will have the opportunity to demonstrate composition strategies for architecture thanks to the farm and estate on the acreage. This allows for a variety of perspectives to create different visual energies. Additionally, there is a Viet Nam Veterans memorial site.

The park also houses a collection of farm animals, creating a unique photo opportunity for charming portraits and landscapes.

In addition to wooded areas, there are many vistas elevated atop a hill, allowing for portfolio-worthy scenic images.

Depending on the time of day, the DPA instructor can offer lessons on three different lighting scenarios: daylight, sunset, and the light that offers the most potential, BLUE LIGHT, which occurs 20 minutes after the sun sets. (Also, BLUE LIGHT comes with willing clouds to project glorious colors 20 minutes BEFORE sunrise, but the park, which closes at 10 PM, does not open until sunrise, which is 20 minutes too late to catch early BLUE LIGHT.)

Meeting Spot –

Meet your instructor in front of the single-story red farm, which is visible and has free parking. You will also discover portrait opportunities here as this is where the farm animals are located.
