Tour Leader: Sherri Meyer
Tour Size: 4-8 participants
Join Sherri for a
unique, affordable and fun full day Photo Tour & Workshop, in the Auburn
State Recreation Area (ASRA) and Old town, Auburn, California. We will
spend the first part of the tour photographing the American River, the
famous & iconic Foresthill and No Hands bridges, abstracts, landscapes,
nature, patterns, textures and more. We will also spend some time
viewing our digital images, discussing them
and re-shooting them if necessary. Then, we will break for lunch by the
beautiful American River (sandwiches, bottled water and soft drinks
provided). After lunch, we will hop in our vehicles and caravan to Old
Town Auburn. There we will have the opportunity to photograph old
buildings (some of which were featured in the very popular movie
Phenomenon), Auburn icons, street scenes, abstracts, patterns,
textures and more!
*The normal fee
is $125.00 per person, however we are currently offering a 2 for 1
Fall Special. That means, you can sign up at the normal price of $125.00
and bring a friend along for free.

perfect mix for locals, as well as visitors to the area, who would like

Please no dogs!
My profile photo shows me with my dog, Cocoa. She goes ALMOST
everywhere Jeff and I go, but photo tours & workshops are no place for a
dog. I can, however, recommend a great Pet Sitting Service, here in
Auburn, if you should have a need for one.
