“Taking photos while traveling used to be an afterthought, like airport souvenirs. But thanks to the boom in digital cameras, vacation photos have proliferated like spam. There’s no film to waste, no Fotomats to visit and oodles more pictures to clog e-mail inboxes. But are those pictures any good? Photo safaris combine picturesque guided tours and in-the-field camera lessons. Fees usually include intuition, lodging and some meals.
National Geographic Expeditions (www.nationalgeographicexpeditions.com; 866-797-4686) has a 10-day tour of the Galápagos islands starting at $4,150.
Joseph Van Os Photo Safaris (www.photosafaris.com; 206-463-5383) offers a seven-day shoot of the white horses of Camargue, France, for $3,995.
Mentor Series Worldwide Photo Treks (www.digitaldaysphoto.com/mentorseries; 888-676-6468) offers a three-day shoot of cowboys in Rothbury, Mich., for $899.
