Circle of Life Tour
Do you love photography and would like to take pictures which made you go “wow” in all those magazines and websites while you were preparing for this trip to India? Do you want to create that one wonderful India album that would make people back home look at you in awe? Are you a newbie to the world of photography and want to learn some neat tricks? Have you just purchased a new camera and cannot make any headway with all those buttons and wheels? Do you know a fancy dSLR and are still shooting AUTO because that is the best you can and any other mode would hardly yield any pictures worth showing? Do you want to have the best vacation pictures which get most number of likes on Facebook?
If the answer to all these questions is a big resounding YES (OK we are kidding about the last one) then this is the tour for you.
It is NOT a workshop. We are not telling you to attend a classroom. But this tour is a wonderful way to get the best out of your camera (in case you are not already. In case you take good pictures and do not need us to tell you how to shoot look for other tours on this website) while learning a little bit about the city and all this out in the open. In a beautiful cemetery that exudes old world charm.
So sign up right now to learn the basics and start taking awesome pictures!
