Had a chance to go through the lower park of BC in the last two weeks looking for locations to take tours and groups to, found some great locations. Here are some pictures from this trip.

Just saw the itineraries for some of the adventures, expeditions and trips that are coming up that I have been asked to accompany ~ WOW!! These trips have everything, great locations, food, accommodations, meals and photography.
First trip is Banff, Yoho, Jasper – stops at Johnson Canyon, Ice fields (Snow coach tour) and a lot more
Next is Calgary for Christmas – Heritage park and ZOO lights!
Then we have individual trips to Yellowstone, Yosemite, Sedona Arizona and a sea kayaking trip to Vancouver Island.
If you, or anyone you know, are interested stay tuned to our teaching website as they are confirmed they will be posted there. These courses are perfect for all levels of photographers, even just for the occasional shooter or someone that wants to travel to some great locations to get pictures.
Buyer Beware!

Buyer beware – I have had a couple people contact me in the last month about photography courses. They mentioned that they had tried other “teachers” or had called them and where VERY upset with the information that they got.
Some of the people that are teaching are not professional photographers (some have just started to take pictures and decided to start teaching at the same time), some only have basic cameras (just bought an amateur kit camera), some are my previous students that are repeating what I have taught them and it seems that some are giving out some misleading information.
Before taking any course do your research, make sure that you are getting someone with some knowledge to share, not someone that is quoting from a book. Anyone that is teaching should have a very good base to start with (has used a number of cameras, lenses, flashes, etc., shot hundreds of thousands of pictures, many years of experience shooting for a living (not just snap shots when they have the time) and a very strong working photography knowledge!
