ESTABLISHED 2010 - Beyond The Campfire was created to encourage readers to explore the great outdoors and to observe it close up. Get out and take a hike, go fishing or canoeing, or simply stretch out on a blanket under a summer sky...and take your camera along. We'll talk about combining outdoor activities with photography. We'll look at everything from improving your understanding of the basics of photography to more advanced techniques including things like how to see photographically and capturing the light. We'll explore the night sky, location shoots, using off camera speedlights along with nature and landscape. Grab your camera...strap on your hiking boots...and join me. I think you will enjoy the adventure.

A Great Photo Adventure Program



I don't often promote programs on this blog, but there is one program worth promoting I'd like to introduce you to. It's called Wild Photo Adventures with Doug Gardner.  http://www.wildphotoadventures.com/index.html

There is also a Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Wild-Photo-Adventures/163178650411777

This is a wonderful program now in its fith season where the team travels around the country on photographic adventures. What is so great about it is that the adventures are of the type where anyone can do them. I've enjoyed watching the programs online and have learned a great deal about adventure photography.

Some of the best programs are the behind the scenes programs where they give the viewer a glimpse of how they make the shows. Doug Gardner is a world class professional nature photographer who demonstrates the principles of nature photography in an easy to understand way. Even experienced photographers can learn from this series.

Check out the shows online and if you can try to catch them on the television.

Please enjoy!
