However and where ever you travel, the photos that come back with you act like an extension of the trip. I’ve known travelers who’ve chosen to forgo photographs in favor of living the moment and savoring their memories. I can definitely appreciate their sentiment, but I’d rather take an extra minute to have those special moments captured for posterity. Since large improvements can be learned with quick guidance and technology is always changing, you might consider taking a photo class.

Why not from a leader in fabulous travel photography, National Geographic Traveler? Registration has just opened up for their series of photo-focused seminars.

A Passion for Travel: Photos that Tell the Story
Travel Phtography in the Digital Age
Put the Wow in Your Nature and Outdoor Photography
Photos from the Edge: Brining Home Great Adventures

The classes themselves are roving North America over the next 8 months, popping up from Portland to Atlanta, Vancouver to Toronto. Although it may be unlikely that you’d travel far for one of these classes, there’s a good chance that one of these seminars will come to a city near you.
