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.

Coming Soon! ... Another New Series! - Beyond the Campfire Bushcraft

 The Adventure Photography Series has been an exciting and fun project...and I will continue to pursue adventure opportunities as the seasons progress. Coming this year, 2022, I will be starting another new series that may prove to be the most fun of all. Beyond the Campfire - Bushcraft

I will be getting back to my roots where I'll be spending time outdoors, camping, canoeing, fishing, and creating fun bushcraft type projects. Things like building a camp chair using only a small axe and some chord.  Making a portable rustic bow saw. Primitive camping with a canvas tarp leanpee. Starting a fire using flint and steel and char-cloth along with/or using a ferrocerium (ferro for short) stick and striker, and some good old fashion roughing it easy camp cooking...plus other bushcraft style projects.

We'll combine camping, canoeing, backpacking skills with photography and spend meaningful time outdoors capturing and experiencing nature at her best. That's what Beyond the Campfire was originally all about and starting this season we're heading back to the basics. So strap on your hiking boots and come along for the journey as we explore, photograph, and experience nature beyond the campfire.
