County Outings

County Outings Year-round guided tours and photography workshops based in Prince Edward County, Ontario and the Quinte / Great Lakes Region. Eco-tourism.

County Photographer Phil Norton leads photography workshops and non-photographic outings, inspiring other "county" photographers to create high caliber images in their local areas. Many of our members have been top prize-winners in CLIC and other competitions. We work in conjunction with camera clubs throughout Ontario and Quebec. County Photographer and County Outings get you to places where grea

t photos can be made, in all seasons, all weather and all times of day and night with smart phones or DSLR’s. Our goal is to show you places off the beaten path and teach multimedia storytelling and regional documentary and to give you opportunities to do purposeful photography that makes a difference in your community...and beyond. Nature hikes, adventure sports, historical sites, fitness, sustainable living skills, growing food, birding, bicycling, kayak, canoe, camping, cross-country ski, snowshoe, weekend retreats at country inns and rustic lodges, environmental speakers, travel slideshows and multimedia on the big screen. Regional documentary projects and e-commerce stock photography website. Private camera and computer workflow tutoring. Terms of photo use
Thank you to our many generous hosts who have invited our group into your homes and businesses, farms and performances. We post our photos online and publicize your events free of charge. You may place a link to our web galleries on your website or social media but please do not copy or save the photos directly to your computer or upload them to social media. The images are copyrighted and we charge use fees for publication, in print and on the internet. Photographers spend a lot of money purchasing and repairing cameras, lenses, computers and software as well as travel expenses, insurance and learning their craft, not to mention the hours, days and years learning, shooting, editing and archiving images. We appreciate your support and fair use of our work so that we can offer this service in partnership with our community.

So saddened to learn of the passing of one of our own--a frequent participant in our "Photography & Fitness" outings around Prince Edward County and beyond.

PE County's "secret beaches" and back roads to the South Shore are the mainstay of my guided tours. Since the March 2020 shutdown for Covid, the small group adventures started up again last fall with this fun gang of long-time friends from all points NSE&W for a reunion. Good eating at the outdoor wood-fired pizza oven high above Lake Ontario. Also shown are some memorable walks with our more regular participants in all seasons! Signing up for a tour includes many posed shots of you out and about in

We have so much fun on the guided tours of PEC -- "Parts Unknown Of Prince Edward County". Recently I took a family of 4 on a 4-hour adventure for $400. To make it kid-friendly, the Mariners Park was one of our stops. Climbing into old boats, cranking antique iron machines, running around the fort and tossing a frisbee...right before a sweet sit-down feast with the locals at the Cherry Valley strawberry social!
