We enjoyed our 2017 Sri Lanka photo trip with tour leader Julie Geldard and guide Ransome Lorenz very much. The itinerary, which explored much of the island was varied and provided plenty of exotic subject matter and numerous great photo opportunities.

Julie was very helpful and generous with photographic advice and hints for photographers of all levels, especially the beginners. From fishermen pulling in their catch at sunset on the beach, to the national parks and safaris in search of wildlife, then to cultural events and religious festivals, there was scope for everyone to capture some amazing images.

At all times Julie went out of her way to teach and fulfill everyone’s needs and requests. We would thoroughly recommend this adventure to all photographers wanting to sample the sights and tastes of a unique island destination.
