Garden overview photos will concentrate on shape, colors, and texture. Individual bloom photos will concentrate on making the best portrait of the flower.The attendee should have a working knowledge of their camera and how to change ISO settings and exposure values for optimum exposure. Tripods are not welcome as they may be in the way, though they are recommended with personal garden photography. The camera of choice will be a pocket or interchangeable lens camera. While cell phone cameras are wonderful devices, they are not a camera where adjustments can be made and their use will not be covered. Classes take place at the Master Gardeners Program’s award-winning Xeriscape garden at SUNY Ulster (491 Cottekill Road in Stone Ridge) on the 3rd Saturday of each month, June through October.

Already in 2018 we have 124 cases recorded in 36 states resulting in 21 hospitalizations.In this class, we will discuss how Salmonella can infect humans and what steps backyard poultry owners can take to make themselves and their families safe.
