This will be an exciting year as we are also planning some of these trips in collaboration with our Crossing Bridges partners. There will be an exchange of ideas, cultures and styles in photography. This will inevitably improve the quality and standard of our photography.
We will be conducting our 2 days photography workshop independent of our photo trips so that more members can participate. These photography workshops are designed as an intensive crash course for taking your photography to a higher level. There will be something in it for beginners, intermediate and even advanced photographers. We hope to hold about 3 to 4 such workshops in 2012, and even if you do not attend the Stage 2 Photo Safari where all that you have learned in Stage 1 will be demonstrated in real time at an exotic photo shooting location, what you picked up at the workshop will become a solid foundation on which to build your future self-learning.

During the Photosafari trip, the Learning Points picked up in the workshop, will be re-explained, reinforced and demonstrated in real time 24/7 by the mentors on the PhotoSafari. You are assured of returning from the PhotoSafari a far better, and a much more sensitive photographer than at the start. Please click on the books images below to see the work of past participants who attended previous Workshops and Photosafaris. Several were newbies when they enrolled for the workshop and the photosafari, with a few buying their DSLR just days before going for the PhotoSafari. Their pictures in the publications below are testimony of the photographers they are now.
Participants in this PhotoSafari will also have some of their pictures featured in a Coffee Table book to be published after the PhotoSafari.
