We arrived in Lake Tahoe 
today and spent our first day here on a photographic tour with Tahoe Photographic Tours 
.
We met our guide, Robin in South Lake Tahoe and got to spend the whole day being driven to the most photogenic sights in Lake Tahoe.
It’s a big place (22 by 12 miles) and we’d have needed a week to hunt these places out ourself so it was great to have a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who was also an expert photographer. I got a good crop of photos and so did Jen with the little Sony compact, which just goes to prove you don’t need expensive equipment to take great photos (see the dragonfly and butterfly photos below).
It’s no wonder they’re the top rated attraction in Lake Tahoe on TripAdvisor, even if you’re not into photography I can’t think of a better way to see the best parts of the lake and get to know your way around. We’ve now got another 3 days here and lots to pack in.
