(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.
