Advanced Photography Hike in Central Park II

Outdoor photography can be learned in stages. Once you have the basics of shutter speed and aperture down, try this advanced course in Central Park. In addition to a review of the basics, we will introduce topics of ISO, the exposure triangle, white balance, auto-focus and metering options. To attend this class, you should already be knowledgeable about shutter speed, aperture and various modes on your camera. Professional photographer and instructor JP Pullos will first review the basics of your camera and photography. As we work our way through Central Park, teachable moments will be abound. As a bonus, we will award the best photo taken during the class with a $20 Adventure Bucks card, good for any Outdoor Bound adventure. You don’t need to buy fancy gear; the point of this is to teach you how to maximize the camera you already own. This will be a relaxed, interactive and highly fun day!

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
