After purchase, you’ll receive an email with access to your CPT Adventure files. From there, you can download everything directly to your phone, tablet, or computer and keep it available for your trip.

Your purchase will include the main digital adventure along with any included bonus files, such as the Printable Field Pack. We recommend downloading everything before heading out so you’re ready to go even if cell service is limited.

CPT Adventures are designed first and foremost for your phone, so they’re easy to use while you’re actually out shooting. They also work on tablets and computers if you prefer a larger screen for planning ahead.

You can use them on iPhone, Android, iPad, other tablets, Mac, or PC. For the best field experience, we recommend downloading the adventure to your phone before heading out so it’s always close at hand.

Yes. Once you’ve downloaded your CPT Adventure, you can open and use the guide itself without an internet connection . This can be especially helpful in areas where cell service can be weak or inconsistent.

Some features, such as opening live map links or GPS directions, may require a data connection. We recommend downloading everything before you head out and opening any important map links in advance so you’re ready when you arrive.

No. CPT Adventures are delivered digitally, so there’s nothing to wait for in the mail. After purchase, you’ll receive access to the adventure files so you can use them on your phone, tablet, or computer.

Every adventure also includes a Printable Field Pack with the essential information formatted for easy printing, so you can still carry a paper version into the field if you prefer.

Yes. Your adventure is designed primarily for use on your phone, tablet, or computer, but every purchase also includes a Printable Field Pack which is a clean, printer-friendly version of the essential information you may want to carry with you in the field.

It can include things like route order, timing, access notes, camera-setting summaries, tide guidance, and key field information.

Each CPT Adventure is different. Some are shorter, while others are designed to give you several hours of exploring and shooting.

The estimated adventure time is listed on each individual adventure page, so you’ll know what to expect before you purchase. Because every adventure is self-guided, you can still move at your own pace, linger at a favorite location, or shorten the experience to fit your day.

Not at all. CPT Adventures are designed to be useful whether you’re still learning your camera or you’ve been shooting for years.

The guidance is practical and easy to follow, with help on things like composition, settings, timing, light, and how to approach each scene. More experienced photographers can use the adventures for the location knowledge, route planning, and field insight, while newer photographers can lean more heavily on the shooting guidance along the way.

Not always, but we highly recommend bringing one. Some CPT Adventures include scenes where a tripod can make a big difference, especially when working with slower shutter speeds, low light, water movement, or more deliberate compositions.

Each adventure will let you know when a tripod is especially useful, and in some locations we even include guidance on tripod height and placement. If you prefer to travel light, you can still enjoy the adventure without one, you’ll just have fewer options in certain shooting conditions.

Yes. CPT Adventures include GPS guidance for the locations and stops featured throughout the experience, making it easier to get where you need to go without wasting time searching.

When available, you’ll be able to open location links directly from the adventure on your phone. We recommend opening or saving important map locations before heading out, especially in areas where cell service may be limited.

Each featured stop includes the practical information you need to approach the scene with confidence. Depending on the location, that may include suggested composition, camera settings, focal length, tripod height or placement, ideal light, tide considerations, timing, and specific details to look for once you arrive.

You’ll also get CPT’s field insight on why the scene works and how to make the most of it, so you’re not simply being sent to a GPS point and left to figure everything out on your own.

That’s part of photographing the Lowcountry. Weather, tides, clouds, and light are always changing, and no adventure depends on everything being “perfect” to be worthwhile.

Where conditions matter, your CPT Adventure includes guidance on preferred timing, tide conditions, and light so you can plan for the best opportunity. If Mother Nature has other ideas, you can adjust your timing, concentrate on different scenes, or simply return another day — your adventure is yours to use again.

Absolutely. Your CPT Adventure is yours to keep and revisit whenever you’d like.

That means you can return in a different season, try the location under different light or tide conditions, revisit a favorite stop, or use the adventure again as your photography skills grow. In fact, some of the best results may come from seeing the same place more than once.

Yes. If we make meaningful updates to a CPT Adventure, such as revised access information, route changes, updated recommendations, or improved field guidance, your purchase will continue to include the current version.

Because these adventures are built around real places, conditions can change over time. We want the information you’re carrying into the field to stay as useful and accurate as possible.

Because CPT Adventures are digital products delivered immediately after purchase, we generally do not offer refunds once the files have been accessed or downloaded.

If you run into a technical problem with your purchase, receive the wrong adventure, or have trouble accessing your files, please contact us. We’ll do everything we reasonably can to get you taken care of.
