2006 GUSTAFSON PHOTO SAFARI/BIRDS AS ART TANZANIA SAFARI.
JAUARY 16-30, 2006 (on the ground in Tanzania: 14 full and one half-day of photography). Fee: $7500.00. Non-refundable Deposit: $1,000.00.
Transportion is by by 7-seater vehicles, adapted Land Rover Defenders with large roof hatches. There will be no more than three photographers per vehicle so that each photographer has their own roof hatch and an extra seat. We will travel with a maximum of 5 vans. While on safari, each van will operate independently of the others. The photographic opportunities that we encounter each trip are so numerous that we can assure you that there will be ample and varied subjects for all vans and for all participants. Surely some days will be better than others, and surely one van might get really lucky once in a while, but after 14 1/2 days, things will even out quite nicely. Do note that this is a Photo Safari, not an Instructional Photo-Tour. Depending on the size of the group, there will not be a leader in each van every day so experienced photographers will of course get the most out of this Photo Safari. Both Todd and I will, however, be sharing images at meals and during breaks and all participants are invited to do the same. Accommodations are per person sharing a room with two beds. Food (except lunch and dinner on the last day) and all Park entry fees.
Participants are urged to purchase outside travel insurance to cover your costs should you be forced to cancel in the event of illness or personal or family emergencies. The lodges we stay in are beautiful in all ways. The food is good food, the rooms comfortable, and the staffs friendly. Each is located in a unique and beautiful setting and there is a distinctive, peaceful, safe feeling about each one of them.

First stop: Momella Game lodge on the slopes of
Next is The Tented Camp at
The
From there we go to the Ndutu Lodge situated in the bush. This is Todd's favorite lodge. You are in a comfortable, rustic lodge where some of the staff has worked for 30 years. Sitting by the fire after a safari drive can be an experience! Elephants walk by. Lions roar in the bush and Giraffe come in to drink at the watering hole.
The Sopa Lodge at Ngorongoro Crater (Artie's favorite lodge) is the most sumptuous experience of the trip. At 9000 ft. it overlooks the crater and is situated on the Eastern rim for spectacular sunsets. Each room is a suite with tons of room and
modern facilities.

Presented by Photo Road Show
This seminar is for all nature photographers who want to learn how to make better images. I will describe the methods and techniques that I have developed and used since 1983. My comments on equipment (including digital), autofocus, light, composition and image design, and sharpness and my tips on getting close to wild subjects and photographing action and behavior will benefit everyone with a telephoto lens who wishes to dramatically improve the quality of their images. Since going all-digital in November 2002, I have--in short order--become a digital photography and Photoshop expert. My approach to optimizing images is to create a master file of excellent quality in the shortest possible time. I will share our workflow and numerous Photoshop tips during the Sunday sessions.
