Here are a few of their tips we learned as we sipped on our Sierra Nevada Brews.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to improve your outdoor photography:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Although we are Nat Geo&#8217;s photo community, you don&#8217;t need to climb a mountain or hike through a dense forest to share a moment on our site. Incredible moments are all around you that can be photographed, you just have to be looking in the right spot.<\/li>\n<li>The best camera is the one you have on you, whether thats your DSLR, mobile phone, or polaroid.<\/li>\n<li>Lighting can make such a big difference between a great photo and a not so great one. Be patience and wait for some great light to happen<\/li>\n<li>Never be afraid of just picking up whatever camera you have and making the pictures of what&#8217;s in front of you \u2013 taking the first step is the hardest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. we were also able to put together this fun video highlighting the night:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9dtphyizmco\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past summer, we gathered at the Alley by Verizon for a night of chatting and learning about photography.
