I highly recommend Martin Bailey's Hokkaido tour, in particular, because Martin is not only a responsible, knowledgeable, forthcoming and nice guy, but also a superb photographer himself, who knows all the right places. Martin's organization was meticulous and his...
My time at your snow monkey workshop in Jigokudani was so much fun! Thank you for all you taught me - exposure, composition, color management, Lightroom processing, workflow and more. The teacher we know from the podcasts is even better in person!
