During the year 2011, Photo Travel Review Magazine published numerous articles from contributors, completed several gear reviews, reported on travels done by the PTR Team, and initiated a new series of articles about photographers for whom the PTR Team has great respect.
Some of the highlights from our contributors included:

PTR Team Member Claire Carter ventured to Iceland on two different occasions and brought some spectacular photographs of this magical land. Her journal of the trips emphasized the difficulty of traveling in Iceland and the great rewards that come from going there on a magical photographic holiday.
Her first trip found the iconic auroras shimmering above a sea of ice.
PTR Team Member Melanie M joined Claire for a second trip in August.
The two team members have already booked a February photographic holiday to Iceland and a report on this trip, during the winter, will be featured upon their return.
During 2011, PTR Team members reviewed photographic tours and seminars offered by some of the best nature photographers in the world.
Our review of workshops offered by Charles Glatzer received several responses from participants. PTR recognized his workshops with a six star rating ✭✭✭✭✭✭, our highest ever.
The rating was given, not just because of his outstanding tours, but also because of his long history of mentoring other photographers and his contributions to the photographic art form through numerous articles he has published and shared.
Our Recommended Photo Tours section has been widely read by thousands of visitors, make sure to peruse our reviews to find the one best suited for your next travel adventure.
PTR Team Member Bill Lockhart wrote several reviews of camera gear during the year. His most widely read review of the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV featured shots done with the camera in Florida.
