Photography Tours in August
If you have travel or photography in your mind in August, here is a list of options to look at 🙂 The tours are lead by either me or fellow Darter Photographer Shreeram.
Photography Tour of Badami
Dates: August 5th to 7th
Badami is known for its rock cut temples and a history dating back more than thousand years. Travel photographers see much more than just that; this small town offers a wide variety of photography opportunities. There are red sandstones glistening in the morning sun, waterfalls that come alive and tumble down the cliffs adjacent to the caves in the monsoon months, colonies of friendly people with photogenic face who are more than happy to be subjects for your camera, a rural life where you see women washing clothes in a lake next to men scrubbing a bullock’s hide, temples in leafy environs with roots of ficus trees drooping over the gopuras, brilliant landscapes of cliffs overlooking a lake,.. The list is very long.
Darter Photography takes you to this Badami and nearby places that are a mix of well-known and unknown, bringing you great photography opportunities that can keep your clicking finger busy.

Heart of the Himalayas – A Photography Tour of Lahaul and Spiti
Dates: August 13th to 21st (weekend to weekend)
Bookings for this tour is closing in next two days.
One of the still unexplored and insanely beautiful stretch of the Indian Himalayas, Lahaul and Spiti is a valley of stark landscapes and high snowy peaks stretching to the sky. Gurgling rivers and crystal clear lakes dot the highlands of Lahaul, while an ancient civilization has survived for nearly thousand years and has preserved its culture against the onslaught of modernity in Spiti. The faraway valley connected only through a narrow road that traverses through mountains over 10,000 feet high, this region offers vistas and heritage that can keep a travel photographer in a click-frenzy for months together.

Rainforest Rendezvous – A Photography Tour of Agumbe
Dates: August 19th to 21st
This monsoon, Darter Photography is taking you to the pristine rainforests of the Western Ghats – Agumbe. Experience the place which gets the highest rainfall in South India, get up-close with diverse endemic species of the region and interact with researchers studying these forests. And possibly see and photograph the king of these forests, the aptly named King Cobra.

Workshop on Digital Photography
Dates and Venue: August 27th to 28th, Koramangala, Bangalore
This workshop introduces you to the technical, artistic and social aspects of photography. You will learn about the concepts of photography, what the different modes of a camera mean, how to compose a photograph so that it catches the eye, how to post-process it to reflect reality or make it artistic, and, in an increasingly connected world, how to share it online. So the next time you click a photograph, you’ll create a memory to cherish.
