I have just returned from a 5 day photography tour with Luke to the Tarkine in Tasmania. I have also completed a day tour with Luke to Mt Field. Luke's photography tours are fantastic! Highlights include... *patient, knowledgeable tuition from a talented photographer- I have learnt so much from Luke! *excellent communication throughout the booking process *our tour was extremely well organised, with plenty of opportunities for photography in different situations (macro, astro, landscape etc) *comfortable accomodation, excellent food *nothing was too much trouble - Luke went out of his way to ensure the tour group not only developed their photography skills but also had a fantastic holiday at the same time. I'd highly recommend Luke's tours and would happily answer any questions anyone has!
