Nice experiences with Photo-tours

(QNO) - In some recent years the photographers - members of Quang Nam Art and Literature Association such as Duong Phu Tam, Thai Tuan Kiêt, Huynh Ha, Mai Thanh Chương, Dang Ke Cuong have had a few times of visiting beautiful places of Vietnam in the trips called “PhotoTour” together with international tourists.

Taking many photos and choosing the best one only is better than spending too much time choosing the best position, light and photo frame before taking some pictures without any values” -  Mr Duong Phu Tam said.
