I purchased
the USPhotogroup's French package after visiting France last year. This was
unfortunate since I now know where I should have spent more time to capture some
truly photographic scenes. I will be sure to review this package before my next
trip. The images were compelling; all of them were well composed and led to a
desire visit each location. Originally my intent was to use the slides to help
us identify the best locations in France for our photographic expedition but
this package did the opposite. We have now expanded our plans to visit all the
locations and extend our next trip. I only hope I can capture an equal number
of wonderful images at these same sites. I was amazed at the uniform clarity and
artistic composure for each image on all the side trips to the French country
side. The photos in color and black and white were stunning in the
presentation. I have only had the pleasure to view the French slide
presentation but I will check back to the USPG's website to generate new ideas
for other trip ideas in the future. It seems they have done all the work of
selecting ideal locations and illustrating their potential for us. It is so much
better than any other travelogue presentation I have looked at in the past.
Viewing the slides before planning a trip to any of the locations will inspire
any photographer whether they are a novice or advanced professional to visit a
new location.
Best of
luck,

The "France
Four Part Travelogue” has some really wonderful images. Having spent time in
France, it was great to be reminded of some of the beautiful places I had
visited, especially the Châteaux in the Loire Valley. There are so many sites to
see in that area that it is easy to miss out on some lesser known gems, and I
would have loved to have had access to the travelogue at the time. In addition
to the captivating imagery, it has some excellent advice on what to see,
background information, as well as helpful photography tips, such as the best
time of day for pictures or what kind of equipment is allowed at certain
attractions. The France Four Part Travelogue is a great resource for the
traveling photographer.”
