From May 7-May 15, 2010 I participated in a photo tour of Tuscany led by Brenda Tharp and her partner/husband, Jed Manwaring, two well-known professional photographers from the San Francisco Bay area. Brenda's photography was featured in the December 15, 2009 issue of Outdoor Photographer, http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/shooting/nature-and-nurture.html?start=2. To see some of Brenda's photographs, you can visit her website, http://www.brendatharp.com. Some of Jed's photographs may be found on his website, http://www.jedmanwaring.com/. Brenda is the author of an outstanding book on creative photography, "Creative Nature & Outdoor Photography", Revised Edition (Amphoto Books, 2010), which in my opinion should be on every photographer's bookshelf. It was a wonderful experience to be on a photo tour led by Brenda and Jed. Please click on an image to see it in full size.
