Trekking with your tripod is one way to combine the exhilaration of a hike with the opportunity to photograph its majestic landscapes during optimal periods of light. Join a professional photographer and travel farther on a full day photography trek to all areas in Yosemite. These tours are designed for adventure photographers who don’t mind logging extra miles to discover the perfect composition.
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.
