“Will my four flash cards be enough?”

“Am I prepared to do 20 miles worth of hiking this weekend?”

“I wonder what the temperature rating is on this sleeping bag?”

These are just a few of the questions that Chuck, Robert, Vishwanath, and Dylan asked themselves before their Photo-Trek to the Sawtooth Mountains last fall.    For two and a half days their lives would be focused on a single mission; to capture the best images of the autumn clad Idaho wilderness as possible.  With their mornings starting between 3 and 5am and often shooting into the night, it was a physically demanding trip and yet there were moments of extreme exhilaration that included autumn aspen, rugged mountains, smooth flowing streams, and three rainbows. 

By working together they were able to not only enjoy the experience together, but also enhance their results by feeding off each other’s excitement and often learning new techniques and ways of seeing the landscape through another photographers viewfinder.  Their presentation will share this experience and tell how making a trip like this with other passionate photographers can make for not only a memorable trip, but also turn it into a great way to learn new skills and approaches to photography.
