Ateliers photo d'hiver

My wife, Sue and I attended a two week “All Around Iceland” tour in February and early March this year. I found the tour to be exhilarating and rewarding. Both our guides were outstanding, providing excellent advice and individual help to us. The bottom line is that I have been taking digital photographs since 1999, when I owned the first 1 mega-pixel camera, and this photo tour produced more award winners than any other I have been on. Kudos to Iceland tours!

I visited Iceland in September. Our guides transmitted their photographic experience, as well as knowledge of the island, making very accurate recommendations regarding places and techniques. We visited the west coast and the south coast of the country. Transportation, meals and hotels were excellent. Our main objective was the Aurora Borealis, thanks to the climatic conditions, we saw them 4 nights in a row. It is an unprecedented celestial phenomenon, full of magic, spiritual and emotional. We had with us a great driver who was also a photographer and took us to some hidden spots great for photographing without people around. Personally I have participated in several tours guided by Iceland Photo Tours, they are great organizing every single aspect and their technical explanations are very clear. The itinerary was fantastic, and the team always helped us take the best possible pictures at the best locations. Totally recommended and waiting for the next one!

I thoroughly enjoyed the photo tour, notwithstanding the weather but that was to be expected! And we got that spectacular night of aurora.The itinerary was great, with flexibility based on weather (I still hear you shouting while on the cliff: “mammatus clouds, mammatus clouds!!) and shooting conditions as they arose.The accommodations were very good as far as I was concerned, considering the remote locations involved. The food, to my surprise, was very very good!! Even better than the food we had in our Disney Fantasy cruise last year!!You and Thor were excellent guides, looking after and helping each participant hands on, lending photo equipment to help enhance or salvage their photography (too bad about the damaged equipment, happens to everyone eventually).Your lectures were very informative and the photos used were very inspiring. The group composition and size were great and made for a fun experience; loose and carefree demeanor. I like what John said, but not just any 2 Puerto Ricans, but those 2 Puerto Ricans. Overall the trip: “great bang for the buck!”, Iceland is awesome, I plan to come back and perhaps join the inland tour next year.I signed up for the October Tuscany trip.Congratulations on your obvious success with your career so far, good luck on your future endeavor, maybe our photographing paths will cross again!

My girlfriend and I joined the winter workshop. It was the first photo workshop we ever joined and probably not the last. The organization of this seven days tour was outstanding, the schedule well planned, the weather incredible and the food also great. Our guides were always helpful and professional with providing not only support and advice for taking pictures but also with additional camera gear like filters, holders etc and everything with a smile on their face. Their passion for photography and knowledge about Iceland made this workshop absolutely successful and unique for us – of course with the highlight of the Aurora at Jökulsarlon. Iceland in winter time with all the snow and in combination with this new experience of a photo workshop and this funny group of different people from all over the world – we will never forget this and will be back for sure.
