Bernheim Arboretum

Clermont, Kentucky
Photographer Ralph Anderson says: “There are so many pretty  edge-of-the-woods spots here. The trees allow the subject to be in open shade.”
Where to shoot: the Garden Pavilion or Children’s Play Garden
Rules and fees: Free admission on weekdays; $5 per car on weekends. No fees or restrictions, but call ahead.
Ralph’s best tip: “Position subjects in the shade, with an open sky behind the camera. It gives a nice soft light on the face and puts highlights in the eyes.”
State Highway 245; bernheim.org or 502/955-8512
