There's no better place to pick up pointers on how to point and shoot than in some of Regent's spectacular destinations: Alaska, for example, or amid the golden spires of Bangkok.
You can take digital imaging classes with professional photographers, get expert advise or go on a photography-focused tour and watch your own picture-taking abilities improve. Or perhaps you would like to create a wonderful personalized album of memories by sharing photos with other guests? We can arrange all that, too.

Capture memories aboard Seven Seas Mariner sailing May 14, 2006.
There's no question that the advent of digital photography has changed the way most people take pictures. It hasn't changed two crucial elements of photography however - you still need meaningful things to capture, whether on film on pixel, and understanding elements like composition and the nuances of light still make the difference between pictures that have an impact and photos that leave you wondering why you ever kept that shot. On this scenic cruise of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska , we have help for everyone from the dedicated photo hobbyist to the novice with their first digital camera. Nature assures we have plenty of interesting subjects for the photographs, and to be sure your memories are captured just as you want, expert photographers join us to share tips and tricks in lessons on board, we see some stunning examples of what digital photography can accomplish (and how you can do it too) and we learn how to master the second stage of digital photography - how software can help you perfect your photos even after the original light has faded. In addition to visiting photo exhibitions on shore, you'll bring the memories aboard and then back home when we turn our Spotlight on Photography .
