NEVER Hike with Photographers! IT SUCKS!

2 жыл бұрынKatie and I go on a Hike together. We have a destination in mind. However, we are photographers first and hiking enthusiasts second. Will we make it to the destination? I know one thing. We will get some pretty pictures!
Photographed with the Nikon Z9 and Sony A7iv.

The title is awesome! I showed my wife. You have it good, you both move at the same pace. My wife is a fitness instructor and her idea of hiking is get to the top as fast you can, take one phone pic at the top, check the step counter, drink water and head down. Meanwhile, I am stopping at every brook, laying on my belly like Josh in the video. So now-a-days she teaches classes on Saturdays and I hike. Good stuff as always.

I get it. I have been given the name of Lone Wolf by my family because I chose to drive alone and burn my own gas rather go with a family group in one vehicle to hiking areas. Maybe a 20 mile drive from the valley home to the Continental Divide trails. At the end of the hike, they load up and get back home as fast as possible. The Lone Wolf putts back down 20 miles of forest stopping at every view and to watch and shoot every critter. None of the others get that. I am on vacation at a special place I seldom see. The Lone Wolf will get back to home base much, much, later :) I hope they like what's on tv.

All my friends are trekkers. I do join them rather I have to join them. Its the bond. So when we trek , I look for birds, walk slow, and get bashed by them. But they are my biggest supporters. They even carry my camera when it gets tough for me. Last month we did a snow trek in a birding hotspot. Unfortunately we didn't encountered any bird due to snowfall. My friends carried my 3kg kit as I was affected by Altitude. They went ahead and reached destination. I arrived later. I got to see Alpine accentor bird and because my friends helped me , I was able to photograph the bird. So I say its not good for hikers to be with Bird photographer but its definitely good for us.

....Or ANY other types of photographers - UNLESS they're willing to assist you with your compositions and be patient with you at the same time. I've found that having someone aside you (me) is that you're always worried about where that other person is...Is he/she safe? How far away are they? Are they getting shots in a better location? The questions you ask yourself seems endless thus robbing you of your time and enjoyment while trying to get that one great shot. It's about time someone put out a video like this! Great job!!

Josh and Katie, Leslie and I frequently say the journey is the destination. It is not about the length of the journey but the experiences along the way. If anything, we're probably even slower than you all. Every mushroom, bird, mammal, wildflower, bee, butterfly, snake, frog (Ok, you get the idea) is deserving of a closer look and appreciation. Some days we make 5 or 6 miles, some days we make 500-600 yards. Length of the journey doesn't matter.

Most of the time he is fascinated at all the little things I spot to take pictures of. As a photographer your eyes are always looking for that little bird or how the colour or texture of the bark looks on a particular tree. Really a million different things…… so many fascinating things to discover if you just slow down to see them!

Well never did set up spot. Did walk around a bit and spent a couple hours in 2 spots creeping up and watching and photographing 2 birds I never seen before! The blue-winged teals were way too far out but was fun to watch them feed and chase each other. None of the photos are anything special but it was fun and amazing to see so many different species of birds today! Four that I never seen before! I'm sore and tired now from it and was out couple/ few hours 🤷♂️ longer than planned; but, guess that's pretty normal for me 😁. Great video and looks like a fun hike to go on!

I find it the same with landscape photographers, one day, it took Monica and I,5 hours to drive from Lake Louise to Banff, 40 km and I was pulling a trailer with limited stops. Going out with bird photographers should be a pleasant change.

It's either a photography trip or a friends trip, it can never be both. If you go out with friends, enjoy time with friends because unless they are just as crazy about photos as yourself, they will make you miserable. I have given up on camera + friends.

Hmmm? You’ve been speaking with my wife, haven’t you? She’ll say it sucks to hike with me if she sees too much camera gear, usually assessed by the appearance of a longer lens…and try concealing a tripod…if she sees that, I’m toast. Therefore, we often do reach our destination coz we’re actually hiking. All good though. Even without the camera, it’s always good to be out…and you know if you don’t have your camera, you’re gonna see something special. 😆 Happy Easter guys and thanks as always.

The issue of through hiking and photography is being on From Ansel Adams time. He used a horse... The conclusion of most light/ultralight hikers, me included, is: take a small, light cam with one or two light lenses. One very wide, one doubles both as macro and distance, like the 105. If u put your "daily goal", measured by time, place or distance, u have very limited time for photography. As noted, photographers hourly rate decrease sharply. From say 2-2.5 miles per hour, to o.5 or o.75. So better plan by that. I make a camp and go for "star hikes": short walks in several directions around, coming to same main spot every noon/ evening. Then you can explore, go slow, till u get it all. I drive day before, arriving mild or late afternoon to make camp in daylight with no rush, eat well, and get a good night rest. Then i start really early on the spot. U get an 06:30 surprised fox, rushing boars, or a wild cat Burst into hunt. If u hike, hiking is the aim and photography is the side effect. If u go out shooting, its vis verse. Josh, u noted rightly about the pack weight. 24-28 pound, that's about max. For daily trip i take less- including 3-6 liter of water for our conditions here demand it. Keep on those lovely videos.

Birds are my favorite, they are always there and not a whole lot of people acknowledge them. I also find it amazing how they seem to disappear at night. Much love to all the little birds of the world and I’am happy you guys appreciate them. 🥰 I put in my order for 800 PF just for them, I don’t have a lot of money and I could spend my money smarter but then I couldn’t photograph the birds. 🤦🏻♂️ Weird, I know.

Those everyday things that people just walk past whilst on their way to get somewhere. I've never understood the rush to get from A to B, outside of a work perspective. Friends tell me I'm so lucky to see and photograph what I see. I tell them that all it needs is time and open eyes and they can see it too. Life is strange in how we have different perspectives. I guess being retired gives me more of that precious time but the insects I photograph are on many of the plants they pass by when walking the dog. The birds may be a little different and I'll be honest, I'm sort of selfishly glad they don't take Fido for walkies where I go to photograph certain things, birds, deer etc. Nice to see you both involved in the videos now. Regards, Mark.

I just found your You Tube channel, and this video. The two of you sound a little bit like my wife and me. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this. It made a refreshing, relaxed, and dare I say, more philosophical, alternative to the usual fare of gung-ho landscape photography channels full of advice, bravado and just a little too much "noise" for my advancing (age related) taste. Anyway, cheers for the trip. I enjoyed it, and will return for more. Oh, and I agree, it's all about the moments along the way.

A number of yrs ago I belonged to an organized hiking group. We had members who prided themselves on their ability to hike a 8 mile trail in under 3 hours. I couldn't understand why they bothered to hike in the woods, they didn't have time to see anything or enjoy the outdoors. I've always believed that a hike should never interfere with walk in the woods or along a canyon rim. perfect example is my wife and I hiked 1.3 miles down on the Bright Angel trail in Grand Canyon. it took us about 2 hours going down, it took almost 4 hours coming back up to the rim. Not only from the elevation change but from stopping to admire the changes in the views. Katie, keep working on it. You'll figure out how to get that d___ camera out of your way! Excellent video as usual! Josh, be careful, you might lose your voice over job.
