INDIAN CANYONS PHOTO TOUR-1

We met in a bar. In the gigantic casino in the lobby of the Las Vegas hotel. All around us poker, blackjack, roulette, machines jingling, bells ringing, the noise level was deafening, people all around us. We are 8, the boss is the guy with the hat, his wife is the manager, maybe she’s the real boss ? The other 6 that’s us: two German and four Swiss amateurs, and we are ready to learn from him…. how to shoot…

Shoot a really good photo ! Let’s get on the road and start the :

SAN FRANCISCO to LAS VEGAS

ARRIVING

Driving from the airport we had to cross the Golden Gate Bridge to get to our B&B in Sausalito. Easier said than done, we missed a turn off and did an involuntary sightseeing trip of downtown San Francisco, uphill, downhill, every crossing a 4-way-stop, it took ages. We finally did make it back on the Hwy 101 and onto the bridge.

Arriving and driving, with our great timing we exactly hit the rush hour

An insider photo tip to turn left and go up the hill in the Marin Headlands to get some really good views is no secret anymore. There was almost more traffic there then driving through the town at rush hour. We were told to go photograph the bridge as soon as it as visible, it would mostly be covered in clouds or fog. We had clears skies every day and night ! From there we went to our B&B, the Gables Inn in Sausalito. I can only recommend the place, a warm welcome, nice room, and lucky again: wine and cheese every afternoon from 17:00-19:00. We dump the bags in the room and go have a drink, with all the cheese we ate we decide to skip dinner.
