How we hike
Camera Committee Outings include day hikes, road trips, car-camps and backpacks.
Our hikes are "photo-paced" allowing participants ample opportunity to capture their best images. We try to be at the right locations at the right time for the best light. Our camping trips usually include a social hour around snacks, dessert or a campfire to swap stories and photo ideas. We often follow the outing with a reunion to look at photos.
We love beautiful locations that inspire engagement with the natural world and the conservation that follows, but we recognize that photos created in distressed environments have the power to build awareness and spur action.
Outings are open to all. Some of our outings are co-sponsored with other groups and sections like the Natural Science Section, Wilderness Adventures Section, and the Pasadena Group.
