How fun that you’re doing this! An advice column for outdoor seekers is perfect—and these are great suggestions for getting that camera shot without drama.
Thanks! I hope my answers can offer some ideas and encouragement to people wanting to spend more time outdoors! I've sourced the first few questions from my network and they are all over the place--we'll see which ones people respond to!
I agree with your photo etiquette guide. As we all should have learned early in life, it's all about being considerate. A couple of times we have been at a county park where people thought it was fine to commandeer entire areas, such as a bridge to the rest of the trail and a beach for extended wedding photo shoots. They complained that we had the gall to walk down the public beach when they were clearly using it. (We were not deterred--if you want a private photo venue, rent one.)
The extended photo shoots are so frustrating! If someone is only taking one or two photos, I’m not going to step in front of their camera to get by, but my patience runs out quickly when they (try to) block access to public spaces.
