Dubai Photography Tour

28th February- 6th March 2018

AbuDhabiMosqueIanMitchell_200We are heading to Dubai in 2014!
Join us exploring the wonderful sights and secrets of this ancient city and beyond.

Did you know that the earliest mention of Dubai was in 1095 AD, and the earliest recorded settlement in the region dates from 1799? Today Dubai is a modern cosmopolitan metropolis where the new blends with the old.

Some of the highlights include heading into the desert and including a falcon shoot with our own conservationist guide before photographing sunset over dunes and dining under the Arabian stars with live folk music and a traditional belly dance performance. We will be accompanied on tour by Ian Mitchell, an English-speaking Emirates resident and passionate photographer for the entirety of the tour.

This tour is designed to be a challenging yet rewarding tour for your photography. During the tour we will be undergoing specific photography exercises and providing crtique on your images.
The tour is suitable for Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced photographers as it will be limited to 7 participants. We would prefer Beginner level photographers have a basic understanding on aperture, ISO and shutter speed.

If you are unsure Danielle is available to talk with you on this aspect.

Yes that is no problem at all and again if you would like to talk with someone personally we are more than happy to arrange a suitable time for this.
