PhotoTour Excursions is holding its first Deaf/Hard of Hearing PhotoTour on Sept. 18, 2010. There’s no easier way to learn photography than taking pictures with a professional photographer guiding you along the way. Taking those pictures while touring DC’s favorite locations makes it even more fun and entertaining.

Now PhotoTour Excursions wants to offer the same opportunity to our friends in the Deaf/HH family. Each tour will be staffed with an interpreter (and an instructor who knows basic-level ASL). You’ll also be at home with exclusively Deaf/Hard of Hearing attendees.

What’s Included
On PhotoTour Excursions walking workshops, a professional photographer provides structured and personal information on improving photography skills with our 10 Steps to Great Pictures. Rounding out the experience is a brief discussion of the background and cultural significance of the photography locations.

Typical Agenda
- Pre-excursion bonus - Intro to the Camera -- What do all those buttons do, anyway?
- Half-day thematic tour with photography instruction -- Never take home crappy pictures again
* How do you shoot post-card shots of each scene -- Make them stop and notice
* How do you develop your own creative style -- You’ll want to hang these on your wall
* How do you shoot people on the street and in public -- Capture the energy without being a nuisance
* How do you get spot on-exposure every time -- You’ll make it look so easy
- What’s the guaranteed, sure-fire way to make everyone acknowledge you as a great photographer? You’ll never guess
- Cheat sheet with highlights of tour stops and camera tips -- We know you’ll remember everything, but we include it... just in case.
- Post-excursion feedback on your best photos -- Continue learning after the Excursion. Plus join the alumni community
