About this activity

Half day tour from Queenstown to Glenorchy.

This photographic tour is an enjoyable outdoor adventure combined with insightful guidance on maximising the use of your camera. You will learn life long skills on the fine art of landscape photography from an award-winning photographer, while discovering some unforgettable locations.

You will learn how to take beautiful landscape images using your own equipment. I also have a few special locations up my sleeve that have magical views.
