My career has revolved around  adventure sports photography for 30 years. I’ve photographed everything from sea kayaking in the Florida Keys to mountaineering on Denali. I’ve learned some helpful photography techniques while guiding and photographing these adventure sports and gotten a lot of bumps and bruises along the way. Canoeing in Glacier National Park on Lake Josephine. Nikon D300S, AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED. Exposure: 1/800 sec., ƒ/11, ISO 200. America has some of the most diverse landscapes, vast wilderness areas and magnificent national parks on the planet. The range of environments is remarkable. Red rock deserts, high alpine peaks, subtropical islands and millions of acres of wilderness are waiting to be explored. You don’t have to cross an ocean to get there—these gems are only a road trip away. Here are some of the most popular and accessible adventure sports and photography tips for each. I’ve also included some of my favorite destinations for these s...
