I was so delighted with this tour. I had chosen it because it advertised instruction in photography techniques, and the last photography class I took was prior to the advent of digital photography. Not only did I learn how to acquire and process images on my phone, but also concepts about grouping, color contrast, and framing. This alone would have made this a spectacular tour. However, because I mentioned that I would probably also take the conventional Freedom Trail tour, we modified my original plan to focus on Beacon Hill. I was fascinated by the history and vibrancy of this storied region in Boston. I am almost tempted to take another tour in a different part of town to learn more photography techniques and history.
