Hey friend! How's the light here? Personally, I think it really enhances the hint of blue in my left eye. Don't you? I just love helping my young human friends learn photography, but there's no better subject than Glacier National Park to help you hone your skills.

Every summer, thanks to donations to the Glacier Conservancy, kids get to spend a week doing just that through the Glacier In Focus program.
I can hear the excitement of these kids when I'm working at Logan Pass as they shout over and over the phrase “LOOK HOW MANY PHOTOS I TOOK!" 
Glacier in Focus is a partnership with the Glacier Conservancy, Glacier Institute and the Udall Foundation that brings middle schoolers from across northwest Montana to Glacier for a week-long camp where they gain outdoors experience, learn "Leave No Trace" principles, and are given a camera to sharpen their photography skills.

After a week of hiking, camping, and photo taking, they are sworn in as Junior Rangers. How cool is that?!  

Check out some of the photos from this year's program:

Throughout the week of this year's camp, students learned about different photography techniques for landscape photography like the rule of thirds, and how to compose a compelling landscape shot.
 
They also had lessons on perspective, focus, light, and repeat photography. These techniques were taught through learning different skills, like macro and sunset photography. Visiting different parts of the park offers easy access to views that would help them learn the skill of the day.
