If you love photography and love to travel, then you need to contact Nicolette Fisher at 


As explained on her website - "We offer photography travel workshops in Europe to the hobbyist photographer who loves to explore, learn new techniques, and ways to craft your photography in picturesque destinations you will never want to leave".


Nicolette offers 3 Day Tours and New 1 Day Workshops.  
Here is a few of her fantastic tours.



This Workshop in Versailles along with the Loire Valley would be a perfect add-on 

Versailles
One Day Workshop Events:
Versailles, France                       Pictures in the Park
Join us for a day in the infamous grand gardens of Versailles. We gather in the morning for a photographic tour of the luxe gardens, and commence at 2:00pm for your optional tour of the palace on your own, before venturing out on the massive grounds on your own to put what you learned to use and take advantage of the late afternoon lighting.    
Friday, May 20, 2011   8:00am - 2:00pm                                                €45 / €65 with admission to Palace.



3 Day Workshop Tour

Join us in Montrichard, France to capture this enchanted area of the Loire Valley. This market town dones both medieval and Renaissance architecture and a hilltop fortress overlooking the Cher waterway. Montrichard also makes a nice homebase for the surrounding areas we will discover the next three days. 

A welcome reception will be held on Tuesday evening upon your arrival with appetizers and cocktails. The next three days we will encounter some of the area's best chateaux such as Chateau de Chenonceau, Chateau  de Chissay, Chateau du Plesiss-Buerre, and Chateau du Montpoupon. We will also venture to Montresor, which is considered to be one of France's most beautiful villages. On our final day we will explore the local mushroom caves of nearby town Buerre prior to our hosted dinner party at a local restaurant with traditional French cuisine.

Beynac-et-Cazenac, France          An Ever After Photo Tale

3 Day Workshop Tour
Cinque Terre, Italy      Tues. June 7 - Fri. June 10, 2011
Get your cameras ready! This is one photography getaways you don't want to miss. How does three days on the Italian Riveria sound? Join us as we capture colorful rustic Italian oceanside villages, hike rugged breathtaking cliffs, meander through vineyards, enjoy a leisurely boat cruise, and explore the culture and charm of Italy's seaside villages. Cinque Terre, which means Five Lands, offers the exploration of five picturesque villages, secluded from the main motorway and only reachable by train.

A welcome reception will be held on Tuesday evening after checking into your hotel. The next three days will be spent exploring the coastline, villages, vineyards, and more by foot, train, and boat. Don't forget to bring your appetite for traditional Italian food, as we will host dinner party on our last evening together. This is one getaway that could be a lasting memory!

This is so much more that Photography Getaways can offer you.  This is an incredible opportunity to experience and capture some of the most beautiful places in Europe.

What a blessing that you live in such a beautiful place! I'm afraid photography isn't really my thing...more of a writer, actually.

Love your blog!
