Finding Inspiration on the Trails— Hiking & Photography in San Diego & Beyond

Date: June 27, 2025
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

WITH BRAD SPIESS

Location(s): 

Hiking trails in San Diego and beyond can be great areas for inspiration. I love the iconic areas that all us photographers like to take epic photos at, the ones that everyone recognizes, but I also get a kick out of finding a unique scene that has not been over explored. By getting out on to hiking trails you can find a unique perspective on the area where you live. All genres of photography can benefit from this. Heading out on the trail can help you find a unique landscape to shoot, and great backdrop for portraits, a cool place for macrophotography, a wonderful foreground for astrophotography, …the possibilities are endless. In this workshop I will assume you have some basic knowledge of photography and focus more on some basics to make your outdoor adventures more enjoyable and rewarding. Such as:

· The best planning practices that can help you maximize your enjoyment of the adventure and increase your keepers for your photography.

· Some of the better locations around San Diego for hiking and photography

· Best fitness practices to help you get in shape for your hiking adventures

· Safety tips to help minimize your risk while out on the trail.
