Photograph the landscape of Yosemite National Park from a different perspective with our professional guides whose main focus will be on improving your photography (not their own) throughout the entire session to ensure that you leave Yosemite with a new found knowledge and some of the best photos in your library. Take control of your camera while capturing images of Yosemite’s towering cliffs and majestic waterfalls. You will spend up to five hours chasing the light while immersed in the scenery during a field session guided by one of our local professional photographers. Each custom tour will be designed to photograph Yosemite landmarks in locations carefully selected by our professional guides to take advantage of optimal light.
Programs are crafted by an expert photographer who will lead the session. These specialized sessions are suitable for all levels of photographers with various types of cameras. Custom classes generally last four to five hours; however, some pre-scheduled tours can last longer. These are private tours and price per person is determined by the size of your group.
Any camera which offers manual control over the shutter speed and aperture. Digital cameras preferred because they offer instant feedback. An SLR with a pair of lenses (i.e. wide angle zoom and a long telephoto) would be ideal. We frequently encounter wildlife in these areas so a long lens is handy to have on hand. A tripod is strongly recommended. Bring food, water, sunscreen, rain gear, and sturdy walking shoes. Feel free to ask any questions about the content or requirements.
*All Photo Tours require a certain amount of hiking. Most are very easy camera walks to optimize time spent in the field. Longer hikes with rewarding vistas are also available. Every YExplore Yosemite Tour includes a vehicle reservation permit into Yosemite National Park during any reservation period.
