If you want to have fun walking through Venice at a leisurely pace and taking
pictures, then you should consider our Photography Tour.
Venice is the most beautiful city on Earth and a photographer's paradise;
every square inch is photo-worthy. The purpose of the tour is to help you
improve the quality of your travel pictures, while being guided through parts of
Venice looking for interesting shots.
What You Get
The number one goal of the tour is to have a good relaxing time walking
around Venice taking pictures without being pressed to move on, or to get to
the next touristy sight, while at the same time improving the quality of your
pictures. Although there is a path we like to follow, there is no requirement
that we do it all. If you want to stop and spend some time studying and
photographing a subject, it's OK - nobody will rush you to move on. It's about
getting good pictures, not about meeting schedules.
A close second is to help you get great shots. We encourage you to slow
down and look at things you would otherwise miss. Venice is full of fascinating
details; all you have to do is look. Even the bricks on the walls are worth
photographing.
You will get some pointers on how to get good shots, and a few tricks that will
make your pictures vastly superior to the average traveller's. Hopefully you
will learn a few things that will help you get better pictures for the rest of your
life.
Where You Will Go
The path the tour takes changes from time to time, and also depends on the
time of day. Some of the main attractions, such as the Rialto Bridge, can be
choked with tourists at certain times, making it impossible to take decent
pictures. Since we are attempting to have a relaxing time, and to learn
something, we generally keep the tour off the beaten path. Consequently, the
tour may not hit the big touristy places, or major sights. If there is someplace
you would like to go, let us know and we will try to accommodate you.
The tour is not meant to be a professional level instructional course, but is
meant to help novices and amateurs get better travel pictures. It is also not
meant to teach you how to work your camera. Although Mike may give
pointers on some features, he is not an expert on the operation of all digital
cameras. You should be familiar with the basic operation of your camera.
Point-and-shoot cameras welcome! Don't have any fancy gear? Only a
little ol' digital or film camera? - no problem! You will blow people away with
the pictures you get. So, don't be afraid - take the tour. If the tour is at night,
you should have a tripod, though.
The tour is private, consisting of only you and the people in your
group. Normally, no more than four people should be in the group, although
there is some flexibility.
Time of Day: It is always a good time to take pictures in Venice, and the
time of day we take the tour is up to you. We will gladly do it at sunrise, or
early morning, when the light is good, no tourists are out, and it is somewhat
cooler in the summer. We will also do it at night, or at or around sunset. It's
your call. Any time that fits your schedule is good for us.
In Case of Rain: The tour will normally continue rain or shine, so bring
some rain gear if it looks like rain. If the rain is too heavy to have a
meaningful tour (which is at our discretion), then we will try to move it to
another time or day. If that is not possible, then you will get a refund in
proportion to the time spent on the tour.
