Photography adventure tours

Pretty much everyone who travels does so with a camera, but how many really know how to make the best use of their flashy new digital SLR. Sure there's always the manual to flick through, but camera instructions, like stereo instructions are most useful when if comes to curing insomnia.

A far better way to get a full grasp of the power of your new digital camera is to take a photography course. We're not suggesting you need a Dip. Ed. in order to get snaps sharp enough to win Granny's praise, but you'd be amazed just how much you can learn in a short one or two day course.

But don't run off to the local night college to sign up for Photography 101, instead, why not work a short photography course into your holiday in Asia?

All sorts of courses are available from one day short courses to week-long immersion experiences, and best of all they take place in the steaming markets, verdant hinterland and chaotic but colourful scenes of Asia.
