Itinerary and highlights

After picking you up,we begin at the Arch of Santa Ana, here you can use the arch in your composition and use long exposures to capture light trails of passing cars for some great effects. Next we start the downhill walk to visit the plazas San Francisco and Regocijo, here we will spend some time shooting and making the most of the fountains there in our photos. Following this we continue on to the main square, Plaza de Armas where we will explore the best compositions and utilise the beautiful lamps found on the square to get awesome starburst light effects. After the main plaza we begin the walk to San Blas where we will have the chance for some great street shots creating ghostly figures from passers by. The tour will finish at your hotel.
