I’m really happy to announce a new tour that I’ll be leading to Mexico’s Copper Canyon through Jim Cline Photo Workshops!
Join me on one of the great train rides of the world as we take El Chepe train from the town of El Fuerte, near Los Mochis, up and back down the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua State, Mexico, we’ll ride it both ways.
The photo opportunities are virtually endless as we wind our way among 3,000 foot cliff walls that are a cross between Yosemite National Park and the Grand Canyon.

Have a listen to this recent podcast interview I did on the AmateurTraveler, hosted by Chris Christensen. In it I discuss the state of Chihuahua in Mexico, as well as the Tarahumara people and the Copper Canyon.
Also, have a look at this brief video we made in August on El Chepe while riding through the Copper Canyon, and have a read of an article I wrote for Digital Photography School called 18 Tips for Shooting from a Train. Whether or not you join me for this trip, I think you’ll find it good information to help you get better photographs when shooting from any moving vehicle.
