Revolutionizing the industry for over 40 years with innovative carrying solutions that combine quality, comfort, amd durability.

For those who are already comfortable with the mechanics of working with a camera, we are offering One Day Photography Tours throughout the Adirondack Park region. After a brief introduction we will work the various landscape locations according to whatever the light may be at the time. Each Adirondack Photography Tour will have a focus as to the types of images we'll be photographing and the various locations we'll be traveling to. My goal is to help participants expand their creative vision and have a great day immersed in the many wonderful facets of landscape photography.

Adirondack Photography Tours are one day photo shoots for intermediate and advanced photographers that are spent entirely in the field. In addition to brief group discussion, Carl will offer individual attention for questions and critique throughout the 8 - 9 hour day. Photo Tours are set up for photographers with a comfortable working knowledge of basic camera mechanics and techniques - including aperture / shutter / ISO settings / depth of field. One day photo tours are limited in size to 6 partcipants for personal attention and for being less intrusive at the various photo locations. Please check our Photo Workshops for more comprehensive photography instruction.

If you have any questions - or suggestions for additional tours - please Email us or contact us by mail or phone.
