 Washington Photo Safari, a member of the Washington DC Convention and Tourism Corporation, teaches the basics of travel photography by taking tourists and local residents on half-day and day-long photo shoots around Washington DC's monuments, while a professional architectural photographer gives them guidance on such areas as composition, exposure, interior photography without flash, and outdoor portraiture. Safari prices are just $74.00 for a half-day workshop, $129.00 for a full-day, and $54.00 for special "walking safaris" in specific "photo-op" neighborhoods or tourist areas. Group rates and gift certificates are also available.
