So Much More To See...
The timing of this workshop is PERFECT to experience and photograph France. The world famous lavender fields of southern France will be in full bloom at this time. The town of Valensole (1.5 hours away) provides the best photo opportunities of the lone tree on the horizon with long leading lines of lavender rows in the foreground. If this is something you are considering, then you will want to shoot the lavender first, before the Camargue because of harvest times. Also, the Bastille Day fireworks on July 14th at the Eiffel Tower is incredible. Check out some of Tim's photos from France below.
