Unwind

Our photo tours and workshops use photography as a means to admire the beauty of Nature. Nature can be so amazing and often we don’t realize it because we’re in a rush and do not pay attention. Photography slows you down and you almost automatically enjoy Nature more. Slowing down will enhance enjoyment and your photography. Unwinding will be even easier in a small group. Our groups are never more than six participants.

Take your time

Our photo tours are also holidays. Even though photography is an important part of our tours, there is also time to relax, to have a good conversation or an exquisite meal. Our photography sessions are most of all around sunrise and sunset, when the light is at its most beautiful. During the day we will take time for editing some photos, so you can see how your photos can stand out.

Your destinations

Nature Photo Tours has selected a few beautiful destinations in Europe and Southern Africa. Have a look at what we have to offer for 2020.

Dunes, wildlife and endless space in Namibia

If you’re looking for a special destination then Namibia is spot on. Here we can find ancient deserts and almost alien landscapes. We will look for wildlife and remain in awe at the foot of the highest dunes on earth. In this photo adventure we will drive our 4x4s over the gravel roads from the desert to the ocean. We cover great distances and see many different views; high dunes, dark skies, amazing wildlife, mountains, rare plants and much more.

Better editing using luminosity masks in Lightroom

Adobe’s Lightroom Classic is far from perfect, but I still use it for 90% of my editing. It’s easy to use, but gets a bit slow when using large catalogs and many modifications in one photo. The best part is of course that all your modifications are non-destructive. All modifications [...]
