New Trip: Southern Cypress Swamps
by Matt Meisenheimer
Fall is undoubtedly one of the best times of year for photography. Each fall season, photographers flock to the mountains of the west, to the deciduous forests of the northeast, and even to the desert southwest in search of epic color and light.

What if we told you, though, that one of the best kept secrets of fall is located in the bayou of the American south? You heard that right!

Today, Backcountry Journeys is happy to announce a brand new trip offering to one of the great hidden gems in the United States for landscape photography.

Each November, the cypress swamps of the south offer a fiery red and orange display of fall color. They transform into one of the most unique landscapes you’ll ever see or photograph. Fall in the south can offer excellent weather conditions as well. Ambient temperatures often drop below lake temperatures, which can create a mysterious pairing of fog and mist with the brilliant colors.


The best way to see the color display is to be on lakes, so we’ve organized private charters that will take our group into the best sections of the bayou every morning and evening.

We guarantee you’ve never seen a place like this and we couldn’t be more excited to offer a brand new trip to the Southern Cypress Swamps.

He strives to capture those brief moments of dramatic light and weather, which make our grand landscapes so special.  Matt loves the process of photography – from planning trips and scouting locations, taking the shot in-field, to post-processing the final image.

Matt is an active adventurer and wildlife enthusiast as well. He graduated with a degree in wildlife ecology and worked in Denali National Park and Mount Rainier National Park as a biologist. He also spent 6 months working in the deserts of Namibia before finding his path in photography. Matt’s passion for the wilderness has taken him to many beautiful places around the world.

As a former university teaching assistant, Matt is passionate about instruction. It is his goal to give his students the technical and creative knowledge they need to achieve their own photographic vision.
