Terry reviews citifari

Thanks Terry for sending us an awesome review and the link to some of the pictures you took during your tours. We love to hear what you think and how to improve our tours.
I have lived and worked around the City for over 15 years, I now live in Atlanta, Ga but travel here for business a lot. Just bought a Canon T3 and a couple of lenses (10-22, 70-300, etc.) and I am reading and experimenting every chance I get to learn photography more. While here I thought I would do one of the cheesy double decker bus tours since the last time I did one was in the late 90's to at least be able to capture some of the more decent shots. I wasn’t excited about having to sit in traffic or shooting from the moving bus. On a chance I googled photography tours and Citifari popped up. I did the afternoon landmark tour and the night tour and it far exceeded what I was hoping for. The sites were great but for an old New Yorker that had seen all of them many times the specific selections that were chosen to demonstrate a new composition, exposure or technique were awesome. Every portrait I will take going forward I will think about the Library Lion. What a great way to associate very technical settings with a memorable experience. The added benefit is the random discussions with a real photographer as you walked from site to site. Louis is young, laid back and very easy to discuss topics with, unlike many of the pretentious photographers that you meet out there. I only wish I had found it earlier in the week I would have taken the Central Park tour as well.
