TUSCANY IN THE SPRING WITH JIM NILSEN | posted by Frits Habermann
The recent photography tour with Jim Nilsen was easily the best tour I’ve ever been on. The surroundings stoked my creative fire immensely, and Jim and his lovely wife Magrit guided not just the technical aspects of the photography with a steady and encouraging hand, but also kept the itinerary running smoothly and at exactly the right pace. My photography improved by leaps and bounds, and I not only have a few gallery prints I couldn’t have taken before, but also left with fond memories of people, places and experiences I will cherish forever. Jim is a true master of the art and a fantastic teacher. I’ll jump at the chance to attend any workshop Jim and Magrit do in the future.

Jim and Magrit -
Thank you so much for a wonderful workshop! I have been captivated by Jim’s photos for years and was quite anxious to learn from him.
The Tuscany trip was amazing! I loved the locations you chose for us, your flexibility at stopping the van whenever one of us became inspired by a scene . . . And the fact that you shot along side us, so we could learn how to see (or capture) the event better! You were both so generous with your time and knowledge. Thank you for that! . . . I learned so much.
You two are an absolute delight to travel with! I will definitely be attending another workshop in 2012.
Thanks again for everything,
Stephanie

2012 Tuscany and Venice tours
I have just returned from a really wonderful time in Italy with Jim and Magrit and
with some really nice fellow participants of the tours that Jim and Magrit put together.
If you enjoy photography and want to go someplace to capture wonderful landscapes,
then the Tuscany tour will not disappoint. Pienza was a charming town to stay in and
Jim and Magrit made sure that we got out into the countryside to capture some of those
iconic Tuscany scenes. The colors this spring were outstanding.
If you enjoy photographing cityscapes, then Venice will seduce you with her charm.
While Jim and Magrit had places to show us, the real magic of Venice is just to go out and wonder the ‘calles’ looking for your next masterpiece. And Burano…nothing but eye candy! I wasn’t sure if I would want to go out there twice…but once isn’t enough.
The food, the wine and the company all made these photo tours something above and beyond just clicking the shutter. I highly recommend both the Tuscany and Venice tours
and look forward to future explorations with Jim and Magrit.
