In this video I am offering a three-day itinerary for photographers hoping to capture the redwoods in Humboldt and Del Norte counties in Northern California. I am also including what I found to be the ultimate combination for photographing the area. The gear that I used was my Pentax 67 with 75mm f/4.5, 45mm f/4, 200mm f/4., and 135mm f/4 lenses. This camera setup worked really well with Kodak Ektar 100 to bring out the wonderful green undergrowth found in the redwoods.
From above, the region looks like a confusing mosaic of state parks, a national park, and national forest lands. With that being said, I found a great combination of trails worth hiking and left the area feeling both fulfilled and excited to return for more. There are practically countless trails worth hiking, but I found these all to be especially notable:
