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.

 This past year (2026) I've scaled back on my posts for this site. Many reasons for doing so but mostly I just needed a break to regroup and come back refreshed and ready. As we approach a new year I do plan again on getting out more with my camera and as always head back afield for some outdoor adventure. Thanx for sticking around and stay tuned for more refreshing content next year....😀
