Mentor Series - Worldwide Photo Treks!








Thailand | 2005

Finding color is not a problem in Thailand. Nor is finding exotic settings. Easiest of all, is finding willing models. It's as simple as lifting your camera.

"The people loved having their picture taken. The people were so happy. I have never met happier people anywhere in the world."


Travel with our mentors and try out all of the latest equipment from Nikon! Including world class digital SLRs, Nikkor lenses and the Coolpix line of Digital Cameras.

Surprised? Especially after last December's tsunami had such a devastating impact on this country? You shouldn't be. As the 18 photographers on this Mentor Series workshop found, the Kingdom of Thailand is uniquely beautiful and resilient.

While Bangkok has a skyline fi lled with glass and steel, at ground level you'll discover truly one-of-a-kind settings. At the sprawling Grand Palace, there's the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, one of the country's most sacred sites, along with ornate architecture and a wide array of visitors that includes scores of saffron-robed monks. In fact, from the ruins of the ancient former capital Ayutthaya to the beaches and reconstruction at Phuket, there's an amazing amount to photograph.

That's where the Mentor Series team comes in sorting it all out and putting the photographers in the right places to get the best images. And as on all Mentor Series workshops, a mentor accompanied trekkers. In this case, it was pro Roseanne Pennella, who offered tips on all aspects of travel photography.
