Vallarta Society Focuses on Orchids
 T.J. Hartung - PVNN
| | The Vallarta Orchid Society Lecture Series Continues on Saturday, November 24th with a special presentation, Photographing Your Pet Orchids and Other Valuables, starting at 1 pm at the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens. Admission is free. |
The next in a continuing series of lectures on Orchids will be on the art of photography, and the techniques of taking good photos. While the focus (pardon the term) of the talk is orchids, the methods, procedures and techniques can be used to photograph other things, like pottery, jewelry, works of art, and anything of value. Bring your camera. Both film and digital cameras are welcome, and some of the differences in techniques will be discussed.
This talk will take place on Saturday, November 24th, starting at 1 PM, at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens. Admission to the talk is free. These talks are designed to educate and enlighten, without getting into too much technical and scientific detail.
The Vallarta Orchid Society is open to anyone with an interest in orchids. There is a modest donation of $200 pesos for membership in the society.
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens has a large (and growing) collection of orchids and other plants from the area. There is also a restaurant, a swimming hole in the river, and shade houses where young plants get their start.
The gardens are located 24 Km south of town, just 3 Km past Chico's Paradise. The bus to El Tuito will stop at the entrance to the Gardens, and will return you to town. There is a small fee for entrance to the gardens, which can be used as credit towards food and beverages, or other purchases at the gardens.
