Dream Locations for Photographers and Media Makers

2/7/2019

Boastful, but true…Callaghan Country’s natural landscape is picture perfect!  Over the years Callaghan Country has drawn a number of renowned photographers and videographers, and for good reason; the terrain is diverse and impactful.

Of course, there are some special considerations when winter dynamics are at play.  "The key is to pack warm, pack smart,  & pack light" says Teague Chrustie, of Teague Chrustie Photography. Winter presents lots of brightness and occasionally washed out lighting, so be sure to bring along appropriate lenses and cleaning cloths. Teague recommends a graduated filter to darken the sky from overexposure, but allow for overall photo quality along with a circular polarizing filter to help pop the sky and minimize lens flare.  Keeping an organized camera bag and packing a variety of cleansing cloths will help you manage moisture, and try your best to keep that camera bag closed as much as possible.   Even when you get inside!  Give it some time to come to room temperature before re-opening your camera bag and reviewing your day's work...the condensation damage can be irreparable.  It's also wise to think about your hands: both a thin glove layer for precision shooting and some thick mitts to keep those shooting hands steady in between shots.  Those chemical warming packs can be helpful for both your hands and packing in the same space as some extra batteries. Those extra batteries are another essential for extended shooting since cold temperatures are notorious for shrinking battery life.  If you're spending the night at Journeyman Lodge and hoping to snag some low-light shots, the tripod is going to be your best friend.

Whether you're a budding hobby photographer or an Insta Influencer, snap that quintessential photo to gain you ultra bragging rights at one of these top Callaghan Country shot locations:

Action Sports Photography Workshop at Journeyman Lodge

2/14/2018

"One Look is Worth A Thousand Words." ​~ Fred R. Barnard

We're excited to announce a NEW immersive experience in the epic backcountry terrain of Callaghan Country.  Renowned adventure sports photographers, Ryan Kenny & Guy Fattal, have organized a unique opportunity to learn some specialized 'tricks of the trade' for budding outdoor photographers.  Move fast, spots are limited!  
Picture
Ryan and Guy are keen to connect with interested participants to make sure this workshop would be the right fit for them.  In the meantime, we had a chance to ask a few questions about the upcoming clinic...
Q1.  Who is this workshop for?
A1.  The workshop is for any photographer that has always wanted to experience the backcountry and capture adventure like we do.

Q2.  How long have you and Guy been taking photos?
A2.  Guy and I (Ryan) have been taking photos for over 15 years.

Q3.  When did you realize you could make a career out of it?

A3.  I realized I could make a career out of it when my passion outweighed my doubts about going to a freelance lifestyle.

Q4.  What's the most common mistake you see among 'rookie' photographers?
A4.  The most common mistake among rookie photographers is not being present in the moment that you're trying to capture. sounds a bit cheezy but truth be told now in a digital age it seems a bit harder to take ones time.

Q5.  What's the foremost takeaway from this workshop that you would hope for participants?

A5.  We want people to take away an experience of a lifetime. We want to share techniques and information but also help them develop their own style. Through the art of storytelling and seeking adventure we hope to offer a workshop that leaves them as inspired as we are.

Lovely hike review from Dog Blog, Led Astray...

Picture
A couple of weeks ago, I finally took a much needed (and long overdue) adventure to British Columbia, Canada – for the very first time. I have been calling Toronto my home-base for a year and a half again now (since returning from living in Costa Rica) and have been feeling very landlocked and trapped by this urban jungle as a result. The mountains were beckoning and I had to listen to their call. Read More>>
