Announcing Fall Cypress Photo Tours

Lake Martin Fall Swamp Scene

I'm pleased to announce three photo tours scheduled for this fall! For early morning photography, it is difficult to predict the timing of peak fall color and mist and fog on the water. Still, these tours coincide with unique photo opportunities on tours over the past twenty years.

Late fall in Louisiana brings excellent photo opportunities for photo tour participants in the swamps. Featured here are three Louisiana Photo Tours timed to provide the best chance for rust-colored cypress trees and misty or foggy mornings. We visit three locations that offer access to large old-growth Bald Cypress trees growing from within the water. The tours are scheduled for the week before and the week after Thanksgiving. Louisiana boasts forty percent of North America's wetlands, and we'll visit the Atchafalaya Basin, North America's largest River swamp ecosystem. We finalize the itinerary for the tour as late as possible to ensure we are at the right place, depending upon the weather.

The tour is divided between time spent on the boat and photographing from the shore.s us to reach the prime shooting locations, primarily in the morning, weather permitting. When we photograph from the shore, we can use tripods, which allows us to use slower shutter speeds to our advantage.

The tours start at 3 p.m. on the first day and end after the last photo session on the fourth day, giving us three full days of photography.
