Roving Photographer Frank Sharp went to The Atlanta Botanical Garden recently, photographing the current Dale Chihuly exhibit of glass art in many forms. He reports: “These photos were all made with a Canon Powershot SX-50 using exposure bracketing to get the right exposure in tricky lighting situations. I walked the new Canopy Walk high up in the trees to get some of these shots.” The “Chihuly in the Garden,” featuring more than 20 installations composed of hundreds of pieces of colorful glass, is featured in the 30-acre green space beside Piedmont Park from April 30 to October 30, 2016.
