Do you have a fancy DSLR or mirrorless camera that’s collecting dust somewhere in your house? Well, it’s time to put it to use! Wild Louisiana Tours offers a variety of swamp tours, including some of the best swamp photography tours in Louisiana.
Grab your gear and let’s go!
The Louisiana Cypress Swamp Photography Tour from Wild Louisiana Tours is great for photographers of all skill levels.
Beginners and professionals will all enjoy this photography workshop.
The paddle tours last about 2-4 hours and set off twice a day, once at sunrise and another at sunset. The weather will be the deciding factor in the length of the tour.
These tours are offered year-round, too! If you really want to take your photography skills to the next level you can join the week-long Atchafalaya tour that takes place every fall.
The vantage point from your kayak allows for limitless composition shots.
Being so low to the water will unlock new creativity levels for you!
I’d recommend bringing a zoom lens so that you can capture any wildlife from a distance.
Of course, there's something magical about wide-angle shots, too. You do you!
You'll want to frame the images you capture.
You just can't get these types of shots from the road!
You can also bring a tripod that you can set up in some shallow spots.
Perfect for long exposures. You will need to bring your own tripod, and I’d recommend getting a
quality tripod if you’re going to sink it into the swamps. Your camera is very expensive and you wouldn’t want to trust it with a cheap tripod!
A knowledgeable guide will be with you during the tour, leading the group to some of the most photogenic spots.
The guides are happy to help with some basic composition tips and camera settings, but that’s not the focus of the trip. The focus of the tour is bringing you to the locations and letting you snap the shots.
Don't forget to look up every once in a while! You never know what feathered friends might be watching you.
Look at how well this little guy blends in with that tree. Incredible!
Visit the Wild Louisiana Tours website to book your tour, and be sure to follow Wild Louisiana Tours on Facebook, too.
