What To Expect

Spanish Military Hospital Museum

Aviles Street in St. Augustine is the oldest street in the nation also St. Augustine's original artist district, dating back to the 1930s the street also boasts some of St. Augustine's oldest historical sites providing a great background for compositional tools such as leading lines, using foreground for depth and trying out new camera angles.

Father Miguel O'Reilly House Museum

Built during the first Spanish Period, the Father O'Reilly House Museum is one of the oldest structures in St. Augustine -- and situated in the oldest continuously settled neighborhood. Constructed in 1691, and made of tabby and coquina, the building was purchased by Father Miguel O'Reilly in 1785. Father Miguel, an Irish priest in the service of the Spanish crown, made this house a place of spirituality and education, preserving the old values. Doorways, interesting gates, and narrow streets make for excellent subjects to improve compositional skills and camera functions.

Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine

One of the most iconic 18th century Spanish Renaissance buildings in Saint Augustine. The early Spanish mission style Bell Wall and six story Bell Tower are majestically illuminated in the morning light set against the beautiful sky line.

Lightner Museum

Arches, Gardens, Iron Gate, Spanish Architecture, and the 1880's World's Largest Indoor Swimming Pool make up for a plethora of photographic opportunities.

Patti opened my eyes to see shapes, lines and colors that I had been overlooking. I’m not only taking landscape photography now, but I’m also taking photos that are simple.

The tour provider was difficult to communicate with at the time of the tour start. The history was interesting and some good tips but it was too slow and not well organized. Despite some beautiful opportunities for photos, we quickly became disengaged. She was inflexible in her style and ignored most of the group. I’m sure the tour is very dependent on the guide, but our experience was moderate.

The history, the camera lessons and the opportunity to learn more about photography is a dance between all participants. I am sorry about the mix-up at the start of the tour. I hope you were able to come back with some great tips for future use.

Patricia Bean's St. Augustine Historic District Photo Tour was just what I needed to get past the confusion of cellphone photography. We started out by talking about what the camera can do and why. She allowed me time to try each feature as she was talking. Then we went out to the Square and worked on composition. Although I had done photo in the "olden days" and came to this experience with prior knowledge, I learned a lot about how to make good pictures. This tour was instrumental in getting me back into photography after a long hiatus. It was also super interesting due to Patricia's deep knowledge of St. Augustine and its history. I highly recommend!
