PhotoTour New Orleans Travel Photography Weekend Offers Photography Workshops and Excursions

(PRWEB) August 30, 2013

Photography enthusiasts can take great pictures of alligator swamps, cemeteries, mansions, French Quarters architecture and much more during a weekend of photography instruction in New Orleans.

PhotoTour New Orleans is hosting a weekend photography workshop Nov. 1-3, 2013 where you learn to take great pictures while experiencing the best of the Big Easy.

"I went in 2012, and it was amazing!" said Phil Anctil, a former PhotoTour New Orleans attendee. "It was probably the best thing I've ever done to improve my photography - the variety of shots - the learning and help while shooting. Can't say enough about it." (See more feedback from last year's attendees at http://www.phototourneworleans.com/best-of-2012.)

The weekend will consist of photo tours that focus on the:

• Distinct architecture of the French Quarter;
• History and influence of the music throughout the city;
• Unmistakable wildlife of the Alligator swamplands;
• Picturesque decay of cemetery tombs;
• Serenity of the Mississippi River at night; and
• Allure of the famed St. Charles Street Cars.

“Our New Orleans photo tour lets you capture the culture, history and energy of the Crescent City through a series of excursions with professional photo coach at your side,” said Lynford Morton, who leads PhotoTour New Orleans.

During the excursions, you will experience workshops that develop your skills in:

• Architectural Photography;
• Night Photography;

“You can expect daily lessons, personal assignments, photo coaching during your excursion, and individual critiques,” says Morton. “This is a learning vacation like no other.”

Photography workshops are led by Morton, a New Orleans native and second-generation photographer who founded PhotoTour Excursions in 2009. He has since trained thousands of photographers on his signature excursions.
