Learning photography with the experts is a great way to learn quickly and share information with fellow photographers. With photography experts Kate Silvia and Kenny McKeithan, we covered a lot of ground in two and a half days. Whew! It was a fast pace, but we were learning the whole way. This current story covers all but two of the locations, the rest will follow soon.

You never know what the weather will do and this tour was no exception. We were lined up for sunrises and sunsets, especially on the beach, Ravenel Bridge, and Shem Creek Park. Cloud cover dogged us on every occasion. Nevertheless, as travelers and photographers, we continued on our journey and adjusted as needed. For phoographers it's important to avoid the harsh sunlight of midday, and we worked around it. We arrived at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens as soon as it opened at 9:00 am and beat the harsh sun and the crowds. Our guides arranged the perfect schedule for the following locations, all reasons why people love Charleston in the Spring.     

• Magnolia Plantation and Gardens
• Magnolia Cemetary
• Folly Beach
• Waterfront Park
• Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge
• Shem Creek Park in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
