Train Street Early Morning Photography Tour

Donna_J, Jan 2026

Our tour of Train Street with Tung was educational and amazing. He offered hints and suggestions from the get go, as to how we could improve our photography. Me with my DSLR and my wife with her iPhone. Touring the local market, opened our eyes to other photography avenues. We learned a lot and we’ve both tried to incorporate those ideas in our photography since then. Overall, a wonderful experience and well worth getting up early for the 5 am pickup.
