Travel in India

This album is a selection of the photographs that I took whilst travelling around India on a photo tour with Steve Davey in July 2010. The initial images are in Delhi and then along the Leh - Manali highway in varied condition which proved to be challenging. Finally, there are a couple of imahes in Manali and Dharamsala.

Check out Steve's site at http://www.bettertravelphotography.com for information on his future photo tours. Steve is an excellent teacher and happily imparts his years of experience plus he is great fun to travel with. I definitely recommend his tours.
