For years, I have used the northern Arizona town of Page as a base to refuel and overnight on long mapping missions. In summer, this is a town where throngs of tourists converge. Many come to be out on Lake Powell, a lake with more shoreline than California. Some called the coming of this lake a sort of apocalypse. Others are on a pilgrimage to the much-photographed Antelope canyon. You can raft the Colorado River if you please.

There is no substitution for hiking when it comes to getting yourself in the best condition you can so that you will enjoy your hiking experience. Even if you exercise on a regular basis, hiking is completely different from many of the exercises that you currently do. If you don't exercise on a regular basis, then you have to start very slowly... but you can be ready in a short period of time.

Whether you are backpacking or kayak camping, you seem to start thinking about food almost continuously. It's probably because you are burning up so many calories due to paddling or hiking that gets you day dreaming about "What's for lunch or dinner?" When you finally start cooking, it better be at least as good as what you've been thinking about all day long.

There can be no doubt that artists, including photographers, bear great responsibility. First of all, an artist must decide upon and establish an artistic vision that truly represents her or his creative goals. To accomplish this, there are important choices to be made by photographers, including what subject matter best reflects the artist's passion, what type of equipment is best suited to the work at hand...

A lot of people see nature photography as long hikes in remote wilderness carrying large amounts of equipment, or day after day in a photo-hide in endless waiting for the right situation to occur. Those scenarios are also part of nature photography but it certainly does not have to be that way. Taking the car for a ride is actually an excellent approach to nature photography for the lazy photographer.

A perfect paddling day can be spoiled when your kayak gear, stored in the bulkhead, turns out to be wet and soggy. Keeping your gear dry is not tough when the correct methods are used. All gear that needs to be dry should be stored in either a waterproof (not water resistant) bag or container.

Sooner or later, many of us will experience that sudden feeling of panic while we're away from home. Where's the camera? (Okay, some people will ask the same question at home, but that's a different problem.) A frantic search of your vehicle, backpack or other likely locations confirms your fears. Your camera, and the possibly priceless photos it contains, is missing.

RAW is a love it or hate it thing. I love it and wouldn't entertain using JPG for any shots. Regardless of what anyone argues, a perfectly exposed JPG shot is far inferior in quality to a correctly exposed and processed RAW image. Whether you shoot in RAW or JPG the absolute critical factor is exposure. If you don't get that right then it doesn't really matter what format you shoot, you aren't going to end up with a decent image.
