Are there fee's for general landscape photography in the FTW botanicals? I went to the Dallas Arboretum and they didn't change me anything to bring my camera in wondering if Fort Worth is the same. Here is what their website says: There is no charge for commercial photography during a scheduled wedding or reception. Portraits made at any other time are subject to a $25.00 per hour fee in the general garden area. Fuller Garden, Leonard Courtyard, Beggs Courtyard, Japanese Garden and the Conservatory are subject to a fee of $75.00 per hour. The Japanese Garden and Conservatory may be used with written permission from Garden Administration. So 1) No charge for wedding photography if during a scheduled wedding/reception. 2) Portraits are $25 per our in general garden, and in the other gardens $75 an hour. How about landscape or macro's of flowers. I'm assuming this is free? It is not wedding, commercial, or portrait photography At a meetup I recently did people said even if you do macro of flowers or something they'll charge you. I'd like a confirmation before I go. Anyone know for sure? --------------------------- Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism. |

NO charge for general photography. I've never been asked even when shooting family portraits there, but things change. There is a general charge to get into the Japanese Gardens, and they don't allow tripods in there. Monopods are OK. My experience has been that unless you are there with a bride in a gown, and/or the entire wedding party, they will leave you alone. I have always told my clients that if asked, I'm their Uncle Tom and I'm just taking some family photos. |

Thanks Uncle Tom  I'll head over there tomorrow and check it out then! It's nice to know you haven't been charged for basic portraits either. It does seem like a nice locale for general portraits and I might try that sometime. In your opinion are the japanese gardens worth the extra charge? --------------------------- Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism. |

There's no charge for non-commercial photo work. If you set up a tripod, you may get a busy-body rent-a-cop security guard tell you you need a permit. Just tell him to take a hike; I did. --------------------------- Matt Snider, Panorama Productions & Digital Services Freelance Photojournalist, Writer & Reporter Mac/PC Network-System Support, Service, Consulting - Serving Dallas, Ft.

I was out at the Botanical Gardens yesterday... Was a beautiful day. Here's a few of my better shots. (Using a Panasonic FZ8 and a Raynox 250 Macro lens on the round pics) Please note: I was mainly there to play with my new macro lens, so not much except closeups yesterday...  He was having none of me getting in close :)   Playing with an 8.0 Apeture    |

Looks like you had fun with the closeup lens. Your Japanese Maple looks nice. Is there much color out there this late in the summer? I wanted to take my daughter out there some weekend for photos.

It's really pretty out there right now, although some of the flowers are starting to wilt a little. But the colors are out and beautiful. |

Yeah, I didn't get a chance last weekend like I said, but this weekend for sure I'm going to check it out. Really impressed with the pictures. I think it beats the Dallas Arboretum! --------------------------- Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism. |

Bring a lunch! There's a LOT of grund to cover and plenty to see and photo! There's an indoor conservatory for $1, usually, but that's closed this week :( |
