November Fall Photo Tour
We just finished an excellent photo tour with ideal weather and fall colors. Photo locations were Lake Martin, Lake Dauterive, and Henderson Swamp. Highlights of the trip included a spectacular sunset at Lake Martin, magnificent sunrise and backlit fog at Lake Dauterive, Thousands of swarming tree swallow's at Henderson Swamp. I created a gallery of my best images from the trip you may view here.

December Fall Photo Tour
The next tour begins on December 2nd, 2019, and it's not too late to join me. There were still a lot of green leaves on the trees, so there should be beautiful fall colors remaining for the tour. You may view tour details here.
December 2–5, 2019 Tour Details
The fall tour features landscape photography in the swamps of Louisiana. I am combining photographing onshore with photographing from a boat. Fall is a mystical time in the wetlands with orange and rust leaves, Cypress trunks and knees in the water, and Spanish Moss draped over the branches. With a little luck, we'll get fog or mist backlit by the sun.
Houma,Louisiana and Spring Bird Photo Tours
Space remains in the Houma Lousiana Photo Tour, and Spring Birding Photography Tours.
The Houma Tour, added by request, centers around my home in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. This tour combines photo opportunities near my house with time in my office processing images. More time will be available for working on both photo techniques in the field and post-processing images than in the Fall and Spring Tours. While there will be ample opportunities to create beautiful images, the focus will be on learning and exploring new techniques. This tour would also be an excellent time to explore Infrared Photography as well. Details are here.
