Schedule a Nature Photography Walk or Hike
Frequently Asked Questions:
How far will we walk or hike?
- That's totally up to you and what you'd like to accomplish! We can hike 5-8 miles or stay within a couple hundred feet of your car. Either way we can fine-tune composition, techniques, recognition of great light, and visualization of the final image.
How do I find out where to meet you?
- Once you've reserved your time (or if we discuss the session beforehand) I'll email you a location you can paste into your navigation software. It will usually be at a parking lot close to our starting photo location.
Does the meeting time include your travel time?
- No. The session starts at our meeting point at the set time. If we will travel between multiple locations, travel time between those locations is included.
What kind of camera do I need?
- The best camera is the one that you have, and many phone cameras can take great photos. If you are interested in taking more control over your photos, you can either use a raw photo app on your phone or a more sophisticated camera.
Can I cancel my session?
- You can cancel for a full refund up to 12 hours before the start of our session. Just give me a call at 217-851-0763 and let me know; be sure to leave a message if I can't answer.
What if the weather is bad?
- Bad weather often gives the best photos ... although it isn't always comfortable for the photographer! If the weather looks bad you can cancel or reschedule up to 12 hours before the start of our session.
I'd like to shoot somewhere different. Can we?
- Yes, I'd like that, and have some favorite sites around the area. Give me a call at 217-851-0763 and we'll talk about it. Be sure to leave a message if I can't answer!
I'd like a different length session. Can we do that?
- Probably! Give me a call at 217-851-0763 and we'll talk about it. Be sure to leave a message if I can't answer.
