Hiking at night? Hi there! I just recently got into photographing the Milky Way and stuff like that. But I’m really not sure as to how to start getting to some places at night. I’ve been looking at websites like these. The pictures look stunning! But I’ve one hesitation — is it safe to hike up, say, a mountain at night where there’s no lighting? Has anyone exper…

Hiking in Fiji I would like to know if I can do hikes in Fiji on my own or if I truly need a guide? I keep getting conflicting information. We’re going in June for 3 weeks. We went to backpack around and we are runners/hikers so it would be great if we could do some hikes but what I see online is expensive excursions and we’re not interested in that. subm…
Most scenic places to travel to in US with fishing and hiking? My boyfriend and I have time off in June to travel. We had previously booked a trip to Montana, but the flight prices are rather high, (at least $1300 each with rental car from Philadelphia). Is there anywhere similar or as scenic and beautiful as Montana to travel to in June that is cheaper? We are looking to fish and hike mostly. I was looking…
Hiking in Switzerland – Early April Hello! My wife and I are taking a trip to Switzerland and will be there for 7 nights during the first two weeks of April. We have been doing research on what cities to visit and hikes to plan but there are mixed reviews given where the weather is at that time of year and some trails that look like they will be closed. Does anyone have recommenda…

From Oly to Fuji for hiking/backpacking? Hi there! I’ve been an Oly E-M5ii shooter for about a year and lately my gripes have built up, but I’m not sure if this is just grass-is-greener syndrome. I have a 14-150mm ii (the weather sealed model) and use the camera out hiking and traveling; I also have a 25mm 1.8 that I never use. The gripes: awful C-AF performance, I’ve never liked the S…
purchase advise: quality compact for hiking Hi, I’d like to buy a durable quality camera. I do plenty of hiking and I would use it primarily for landscapes, close-up of small animals and leaves, and the occasional portraits. I currently rely on my smartphone only (Pixel 6a), I used to have Canon Powershots and I quite enjoyed them back then (SX130IS, A710IS, I think). I’m looking for some…
Hiking Photography Went on a hard but a scenic fall hike yesterday and took this gear with me – an A6300, 55-210 and 12mm Rokinon manual focus lens. I took 170 photos but none of them are even half decent. I struggled to find any decent composition and the midday hike made it hard to find any good lighting. It snowed at the top and so basically clouds rolled in an…

Hiking Pack vs. Gear Pack Hi all, I’m looking for some advice. My husband and I take lots of national park/outdoor type trips and I love to take wildlife and landscape photos. The problem I run into is that I also like to switch lenses depending on the content I’m shooting. So my question is, how do you guys manage your gear while on hiking trips? I have a great high-end…
Looking for a camera to take hiking in Himalayas & future holidays. Hi I’m a total beginner and only ever use my smartphone camera. I’m going hiking through the Himalayas for 2 weeks and would love to get a good beginner camera for it and for future hikes and holidays. I always feel like a smartphone camera doesn’t do the views when hiking any justice as it doesn’t take it all in. What sort of camera would be co…
