Adventure Tips
Dress in layers and bring extra batteries
Cold outdoor conditions drain batteries quickly, so carry spares and wear layered clothing for comfort throughout the day.

A tripod helps stabilize your camera for crisp images, especially in low light or when shooting long exposures of scenic vistas.
Be patient and observant for wildlife
Wildlife is often active during dawn and dusk; stay quiet and watchful to increase your chances of capturing great animal photos.
Protect your gear from cold and moisture
Use weather-resistant covers and keep your equipment dry to prevent damage from snow, rain, or moisture.
