What does APPW mean in PHOTOGRAPHY & IMAGING

Adventure Photography and Photo Walks (APPW) is an activity that combines experiential travel with the practice of photography. It involves taking photos in diverse locations around the world, which could be a solo exercise or involve a group of people.

Participating in an APPW can help one explore new places while learning more about the craft of photography. It also provides the opportunity to gain exposure and experience different cultures, landscapes, wildlife, and other elements of nature through unique photographs that capture these moments.

Typically, a DSLR camera or bridge camera with manual settings and/or video capability are recommended for participants as they provide higher image quality than smartphone cameras. Additionally specialized lenses such as a wide angle lens may also be beneficial depending on the type of photography desired. Tripods may also be recommended depending on lighting conditions and desired results.

There are several organizations around the world offering guided lectures on various topics related to Adventure Photography and Photo Walks, as well as providing logistic support for those interested in participating. These organizations often offer access to professional photographers who specialize in adventure/wilderness areas and/or photo walks throughout various countries such as India, France, Australia, New Zealand etc., who can provide advice and guidance for those looking to learn about this activity.
