December 2019 Photo Tour
We completed the final photo tour of the year on December 5th, 2019. Fortunately, we had three beautiful days with beautiful weather. Fall foliage remained brilliant, particularly at Henderson Swamp. We visited Henderson Swamp, Lake Dauterive (twice), and Lake Martin. Tour Highlights included terrific sunrises and sunsets, Sunlit fog on day 1 of Lake Dauterive, and enveloping fog on day 2 of Lake Dauterive. A gallery of images from the tour may be seen here.
Fall 2020 Tours
The Fall Photo Tours for 2020 are scheduled as follows
- November 15th–18th Details here
- November 30th–December 3d Details here
While it's hard to predict the best date for the best foliage or weather conditions, usually the best foliage is on the first tour. The second tour is more likely to have the foggy conditions that produce either the sunlit fog on the water or the enveloping fog that provides the stunning black and white images.

Houma Louisiana Photo Tour
A tour requested by a client. An excellent opportunity to shoot around my home in Houma, Louisiana, and also work with lightroom and photoshop. Photography will be land based only (no boats). Subjects will include landmarks, Oak Trees, and Pelicans. We will also have the opportunity to shoot and process Infrared images (participants will be allowed to use one of my IR converted cameras). This format allows more hands-on assistance than possible during the Spring and Fall Tours.
