We always try to avail ourselves of the best light at the beginning and end of the day. During the day, less emphasis is placed on landscapes and more time is spent in towns, villages, markets or shooting indoors. Partaking in the local events of a particular culture is always a highlight of any tour. We are always on the look out for local festivals, fairs, dances and street performances. After a long day, we have time to rest and freshen up and perhaps have a pre-dinner cocktail.
Dinner is typically a group affair at a local restaurant or at our lodgings if included.
We often discuss what we learned, tried and experienced throughout the day. The telling of some great stories or jokes is mandatory. For local people and tours, I have a session and pot luck dinner after the tour at my home with a slide show and print discussion. I encourage sending your work as it also gives me the opportunity to showcase your best images on the Client Photo Gallery. I do not recommend getting film processed on tour because the quality can be very inconsistent and foreign processing has actually damaged slides and negatives.
