Scott Kelby's 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk

[thyme4me]

Scott Kelby is having his 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk on July 18th. Click to see if your city is participating.
I wasn't able to do it last year. But a friend of mine did and made friends with alot of local photographers. Sounds like fun to me.
I hope several of you get to participate.

Thanks for the heads up! I just signed up my daughter and myself for the Atlanta walk! There are only a few spaces left in Atlanta, so Heather? Deanie? Anyone?

[hguenthe]

Mike said he'd like to go so I signed us both up for the Atlanta one - only like 7 slots left there now, wow!

Bets on if Mike will be the only one there with a P&S camera? Even so, he will enjoy it too. He likes photography too but is just more of a p&s kinda guy

[patriciaz]

Thanks for the info! I just signed up for the one in London

[shellb]

Man...there isn't one in Vegas. There was last year and it was fully booked. Hmm?

[deanie]

Ah, shucks! I just looked at the Atlanta walk and it is now full! Have a good time, Kerry and Heather.

There was a walk in Cincinnati last year but there are no posts for one yet. I looked at Scott's blog and a comment was made:

"The website is having a few minor issues and not all leaders can enter their data yet. It should be working in short order and all the leaders will be able to post info on their cities and PhotoWalks."

Sometimes there can be a couple of walks in one city planned as well. So keep an eye out, anything can happen.

I soooo wanted to do this last year, but wasn't able too. So far there is nothing posted for my area

Call me crazy, but July 18th in Las Vegas? It will be like 200 degrees here by then! Michele, you & I need to do our own walk in October

I'm hoping to see more spots open up in Canada, so far there's not much.

[nirecreations]

I just signed up for Portsmouth, NH. Debbie Hodge, will you join me??

[tylertooo]

Thanks for the heads up. I will have to see what is happening in San Diego.

[shellb]

LOL. So true! I'm already dying of heat exhaustion and it's only May...ugh.

[Myra]

I've been waiting for this! He's from my home town and I missed it last year!

[judyj]

Louisville, KY is already full.

[Jaxluvs2skrp]

Does anyone know if this is just for professional photographers or would a hobbyist like me have fun as well?

Has anyone done it before? I checked out the site and I'm still not exactly sure how it works...

[ajfetzer]

Jackie I have been wondering the same thing!

[Starlite9711]

Im signed up!! Cannot wait!!!!!!

[earlofoxford]

I signed up for the Dunedin, FL, walk -- meeting up with Bailey and Myra -- woo hoo!

[connieg]

Whoowho, A walk in my area has finally been posted. I'm in.

Jackie, I have never done a walk before, but I'm pretty sure it's for anyone reguardless of your photography skill. It looks like a lot of fun and I think it would be a great learning experience.

The Cincinnati walk has finally been posted. I wasn't able to go last year. Our leader has a link to contact him personally. Look at your city and underneath the leaders photo there should be a "contact me" link. I would think there would be a wide variety of photographers with different experiences. It would be a great way to meet other people who share your passion, network and get advice. I can't wait to see my DD friends photos and hear their experiences. Happy Shooting!

whoohooo Just been asked if I would like to lead a walk here in JOHANNESBURG. I am sure it will be FUN !

[dugarner]

I don't have a Walk near me (wasn't a big surprise!)---and the one near my hometown, I'm going to miss.

So I decided to do a Walk by myself (sniff, sniff!) in Annapolis while I'm visiting my parents. If I have time I might get to do Baltimore, too.

I've never done one, and I wonder . . . what do you take pictures of? My goal is to take pictures as though I were a tourist, to see the city fresh through new eyes. I grew up there, it's so familiar, but I want to do a scrapbook with nothing but pictures of the city, for my kids, who don't spend much time there. I plan on getting up before dawn (yeah, right!) and I have a rough route in my head. But I just can't filter everything through a first-time visitor's perspective.

Does anyone have advice of what to take pictures of? And how to walk through a city so you're working with the light? (For instance, the city docks face east, so I plan to be there at daybreak, but how do you work with the light as the day goes on? Are buildings better in the bright light, with the hard shadows?)

If anyone is in that area and might be interested (I'll be there June 23-July 3) PM me.

But I'd love advice on how to strategize a Walk.

Thanks!

whoo hooo! waco just opened up. i was able to register my son and myself for the walk. thanks so much for posting this, Kris!

[sweetpeony]

Anyone interested in meeting up at the Cleveland, Ohio walk?

[LauraBean]

Sarah, I've not done a formal guided photowalk before, but I've done it on my own and just kept my eyes open for anything interesting to photograph. I've signed up for the New Haven, Connecticut, photowalk, and the walk leader posted recently with a few pictures he took while mapping a route here. He is scheduling the walk for the evening to avoid the harsh light they had last year, which sounds smart to me.
