I want to join a photo tour group in Sri Lanka, but this is my first time. Please share the specific differences between this group and the general group? What are the advantages?

Photography group and tour group are not exactly the same, but photography tour group may be in between.

I have participated in many domestic photography groups, and the general situation is like this.

: First, the time is relatively long, five days, seven days, and more than ten days;

Second, its "line" may be longer. For example, it has to take a trip to the north and south of Xinjiang, so there are many "points". If you take part in a long-term photography group, you must measure your physical endurance, and you may have various means of transportation or even walk. Therefore, you have to consider the total amount of photographic equipment you carry;

Third, the price is more expensive. Compared with tour groups, photography groups shop less or even don't shop, so the cost increases, and some groups are ridiculously expensive;

4. Photography groups are generally undertaken by photography associations or travel agencies specializing in photography groups. They are usually equipped with a photography instructor. These teachers are all experienced photographers in this field. They will take you where you can shoot and guide you to shoot. These teachers will not pay the tour fee, which is one of the reasons why the photography group is more expensive.

Fifth, the photography team worked hard, leaving early and returning late. It may start at three or four in the morning and come back very late at night. Eating is irregular, and there may be a rest at noon.

Sixth, the shooting spots that the photography team goes to, such as scenic spots, are often inaccessible places, which are dangerous and arduous, and may require you to climb to a commanding height; However, once you climb it, all the other mountains look short under the sky. You will feel that this money is well spent (haha, people are like this, and suffering is really worth it! )

Seven, usually reported one day in advance, in the evening he will sort out the film, explain the main points of shooting, and some will also send photo vests or something;

Eight, the gathering place of this kind of photography group is often not in your city, but in a city at the shooting point. Therefore, if you participate, you must pay your own tour fare and bear your own travel expenses. At some point on the last day, it was dissolved in a certain city, and some even stopped serving breakfast.

Finally, if you are a member of the Provincial Photographers Association, don't forget to bring your certificate. Some scenic spots are free for photographers, such as Huangshan Mountain. Besides tickets, ropeway tickets for Huangshan Mountain are also free.
