Hiking 101 - Trail Photography

Capture your favorite hiking moments and scenery by bringing along a camera on your next hike. Today's digital cameras are small, lightweight, and can store hundreds of photos without you having to pack extra film. And don't miss a shot by keeping your camera in an easy-to-access, waterproof pouch on your hip belt or sternum strap. Outdoor Photography tips: Photograph people and places in early mornings and evenings for dramatic lighting and improved color. Turn off your flash and use just the ambient light; you may want to use a tripod or even a rock to prevent blurriness. Use the rule of thirds: don't center the subject of your photo but position it to the left, right, or upper or lower third. Rarely will you ever want a horizon in the center of your photograph. Include a second subject in your photo to achieve depth and scale. This autumn don't stop photographing in windy, wet, or overcast conditions - each may enhance the colors and feeling you're trying to capture.

Quote of the Month
"The trails of the world be countless, And most of the trails be tried; You tread on the heels of the many, Till you come where the ways divide; And one lies safe in the sunlight, And the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, And the Lone Trail lures you on."    ~Robert Service, The Lone Trail
