ENSENADA PHOTO TRIP
June 18 , 2005
Cost: $ includes round trip transport by van from San Diego. Drinking water will be provided. You don’t have to be a photographer to participate, there are lots of great restaurants and shopping in the areas we will visit. After the trip we'll get to gether for an evening to view our images. The trip will be limited to 9 participants.
Then 40 minutes south of town is the famous blowhole situated out on beautiful Punta Banda. We’ll photograph seascapes, vendors and musicians, the blowhole, and maybe a beautiful sunset.
TRIP
DETAILS:
For U.S citizens, a passport is not required for travel to Ensenada for
a period
of less than 72 hours. Participants will need some sort of valid picture
I.D.
such as a drivers license. The weather is very similar to coastal San
Diego's. We will provide drinking water, and there
will be plenty of
opportunities to eat in clean restaurants, but participants are
free to bring snack food if you wish.. U.S.
dollars are accepted everywhere.
We’ll depart at 8:45 a.m. from our meeting spot in
San Diego. On the way down we’ll stop at a beautiful viewpoint to take a break
and to photograph the colorful architecture and the beautiful scenery.
Upon arriving downtown, we’ll have about three to four hours to photograph
all of the sites and eat lunch. Then we’ll make the 40 minute drive out to
Punta Banda, perhaps stopping at the city’s most beautiful church on the way.
We’ll then spend about two hours around the blowhole, and if it looks like
a promising sunset, we’ll get in position to record it. (If the sunset is
not looking good we’ll head back downtown a little sooner to get in position
to shoot the cityscape at twilight from high on a hill above town.)
We’ll then make the journey north, stopping on the way for a great Mexican
food/sea food dinner at a nice restaurant . We’ll arrive home in San Diego at about
10:30 p.m.
We'll also get together after the trip for an image sharing and critique party.
What past participants of Jim’s Ensenada tours had to say:
.
"The trip was fabulous. I can't even suggest any improvements. The trip was stress-free for me because you knew
where to go, including the restaurants. I really appreciated how you gave pictures from a previous trip out to the folks
in Ensenada. That paved the way for us to take more pictures of them plus it just showed what a nice person you are!
I definitely will take a longer trip with you in the future!" Lisa Chambers, San Diego
...
“Thanks for
putting together such a great trip! I am happy that I got to experience
some new places and become
reacquainted with places I'd seen before. Your willingness to help with photography tips,
knowledge of the area and
language made the trip really special. Thanks again for a terrific trip.” Wille Olbaum, San Diego
“Hi Jim, thanks for the group photo trip. It
was a great trip and you are an excellent guide. You really know your
way
around Mexico. You steered us safely around the roads and the restaurants,
too! May your business prosper!”
Nancy Petitti, San Diego
