Picture this: better photos on your next trip! If you are at all like me you have a pretty cool camera and you just love taking pictures. But none of them look like they would make it into National Geographic, and you really can’t put your finger on exactly why. It’s not that you don’t go to interesting places, or take enough shots, or try hard enough. There’s just something missing.
Yes, you can take pictures like this too...
That’s how I feel most of the time when I look at my travel photos. Lately I’ve been feeling better though, and it’s because I took one of our photography walking tours in Rome; these photo walking tours combine a leisurely stroll around your destination (Venice, Istanbul, Berlin, Cairo, Florence, Washington DC, New York City and 26 others) with advice, guidance and some priceless insights from a professional photographer.
These photo tours are a pretty new category: it was the advent of 35mm SLRs like the Canon Rebel and the Nikon D series that really made the category possible. But you don’t even need a camera that expensive to make these tours worthwhile: pretty much any point and shoot camera can produce great results if you understand a few of the basics that you’ll learn in Viator’s photo tours.
You can see a complete listing of our photo tours in 30 destinations worldwide here. To see a little more about my own experience taking the Rome Photo Tour, check out my audio slide show.
