Into the Wilderness: Navigation, Fieldcraft, and the Art of Reaching the Frame
Nature is where you cherish the experiences you encounter, where a panorama of mountains stretches unbroken beyond the power of sight. This is a field course in reaching that place with a camera — and in photographing the life there that truly touches the heart.
A foundational, hands-on introduction to the fieldcraft of the wilderness photographer: developing an artistic eye in wild places; reading topographic and planimetric maps, scale, and contour lines; planning the route by sun, stopovers, and local knowledge; navigating by map, compass, and the natural signs of the sun and wind; and the trail techniques — the rest step, one-handed shooting, and the trekking pole as a tripod — that carry you to the frame without wearing you out.
Course Overview
This is a foundational (100-level) field course for anyone who has ever looked at a vast panorama of mountains that stretches unbroken beyond the power of sight and felt the pull to walk into it.
