In reply to Jason. Hey Jason, yea sure there are lots of great compact cameras out there. If you want something you can rough up, have a look at the Olympus Tough.

Is there a “pocket camera” that’s best for taking in the view? I just want to keep it simple and capture the view on my hikes, backpacking and mountain biking trips.

Thank you for this post. I’m excited about doing some pre-planning before my next outdoor adventure and thinking about what kind of photo story I want to create.

In reply to Margie. Thanks Margie! It's all about trial and error. I'm sure if you keep at it and try some new techniques you will come home with some great shots.

Wow those are awesome photos. I’ll try out your tips the next time I hike to a new location. I’ve never had luck figuring out what to take pictures of. Often what I think as a great scene ends up not great in photo. That’s why I often just take a shotgun approach and click away then delete later.

Thank you for this incredibly useful post! I’m a hiker myself, but rarely ever think about the photography I want to do while on the trail. So while I feel no lack of creativity in the rest of my travel photography, my hiking pictures all look the same. Thank you for some great pointers on how to visualize shots.
