Hiking and photography are
rewarding activities in their own right but combining the two can be
challenging. Capturing high quality images in varying terrain and quickly
changing conditions requires sound knowledge and careful preparation,
especially when gear choices are limited. In this program, we will share best
practices and tips for hiking photography that we have honed while hiking and
documenting our experiences on many of the world’s most beautiful trails.
In this program, you will
learn:
- Optimal camera
and photography gear for hiking and backpacking
- Useful apps for
both photographers and hikers
- Simple
photography techniques and tips to enhance your images out on the trail,
no matter what kind of camera you use
- Pros and cons of
different styles of hiking: guided cultural experiences, hut to hut
trekking and wilderness backpacking
- Where, when and
how to hike some of the Classic Hikes of the World
The purpose of this
presentation is to inspire hikers to become better nature photographers and
nature photographers to hit the trail. Whether choosing a guided cultural
experience, a hut to hut trek, a wilderness backpacking adventure, or even a
day hike, this presentation is designed to help you engage with nature more
deeply and be more successful in documenting your adventures. No matter what
kind of hiker you are, we encourage you to follow your passion and use your
photography to capture the joy of being on the trail.
Over the past decade, Matt and Alison have been on a mission to trek the Classic Hikes of the World. Their quest has taken them to six different continents and allowed them to photograph fascinating mountain cultures and stunning alpine scenery in places such as Kyrgyzstan, Peru and Iceland. With hundreds of miles under their boots, they have walked on some of the most beautiful trails on the planet. Matt and Alison recently published a book entitled Hiking Photography (Sandiburg Press).
