Travelling Lessons

No, that doesn't mean lessons on travelling, but rather travelling while learning to shoot from a pro.

Photo safaris like those offered by Joseph Van OS, though expensive can be a wonderful opportunity for the serious amateur or the beginning pro. The groups are often limited to less than a dozen students, and you get to spend time in locations that you might not normally venture into on your own.

I have to admit that this particular group caught my eye because they have a tour of Provence in France in July, and because John Shaw (one of the best nature photographers out there today) is the instructor. What do you expect? I'm a nature photographer, and I'm in the process of planning a trip to the same general area of France, though it will be in early September.
