A number of local “photo walkers” have expressed an opinion in rescheduling yesterday’s cancelled photo walk.
Although I may not be able to attend myself I am more than happy to let everyone know of the details.
If you are up for a photo walk on Saturday, April 3rd at 6pm, there will be some people meeting at Harris Park to head out for a little walk.
For more information about the root please check out the post regarding the photo walk that was cancelled.
Please keep in mind that we will have our regular April photo walk near the end of the month and plan to attend as it is our 1 year anniversary.
Sadly due to the poor, wet weather in the London area today’s Photo Walk has been cancelled. Although the gloomy sky and the rain can make for some interesting photos the wetness that comes with the rain is not the best for camera equipment or for the health of our photo walkers.
With that said, we have decided to cancel this month’s walk and wait until April to head back out.
Make sure to check out the April edition of the London Photo Walk as it will be our 1 year anniversary and to celebrate we are heading back into the East London Village where this all first began.
See you there.
It is with pleasure that I am telling you all about PhotoCamp London! I(James) have been wanting to do this since the very popular PodCamp London last year, and then SMarts London, and PodCamp Toronto. It is time to focus on the Arts again and get everyone out to share, learn, and contribute to our artistic community! So here it is! PhotoCamp London Canada and unconference on photography & cinematography!
What is PhotoCamp London?
PhotoCamp is for everyone; newbies, professionals, teachers — everyone is welcome! PhotoCamp is about creating an affordable (free) event with themes surrounding photography and cinematography. Education and community involvement take a front seat throughout the discussions of these mediums.
An unconference is a small conference where the content is provided by the attendees. Each conference will have only a basic structure up until it starts. People are asked to contribute sessions that they want to present or hear about. Those sessions are picked up by someone with experience in that field and they present it. A session is between 5 and 30 minutes and can cover any topic related to photography and cinematography.
When is PhotoCamp London?
PhotoCamp London is proud to be hosted by the London Public Library, at the Central branch, located in the heart of our fine city. The event will be filled with lots of fun learning and networking among fellow photographers. So mark your calendars and register now!
When: Saturday September 11th, 2010
Where: London Public Library – Central Branch
Time: 9:30am-4:00pm followed by the London PhotoWalk and a networking social after wards.
Register Now!
We have decided to cancel today’s photo walk due to the weather. Although the rain and gloomy skies can make for some good photos, the cold weather and wetness is something that is not good for our cameras or our health. With that said, March will not have a photo walk but be prepared for April’s as it will be the 1 year anniversary of the London Photo Walk.
WEATHER NOTE: Although there is a call for rain later in the evening we will be heading out unless there is a large downpour an hour before.
Check back on www.londonphotowalk.ca later on in the day for any cancellation information
First off we must apologize for such a late posting and short notice Kevin and I have been really busy lately and been watching the weather and scouting spots like crazy! So without further adieu let me introduce you to London Photowalk 11 : Spring Sunset Photo Walk
This walk takes on part of an already done route. That route had a great turnout but we got rained out a bit :(. I discovered two parts to this route. The first last year doing my NaPhoBoMo Project and the 2nd last night at sunset.
So here are the details:
When: Sunday March 28th 2010 6:00PM -8:00PM
Where: Harris Park Parking Area
PLEASE NOTE: There is very limited parking in Harris Park itself, as such your best bet for parking will be on the streets (it is free) or in the parking lot at the splash pad at the forks of the thames.
Recommendations: Tripod, Waterproof Shoes, Dress in Layers
Map of the direct route is in the sidebar and on the side of this post.
Hope to see you wall out and cross your fingers for another beautiful sunset like last night!

Two weeks ago the London Photo Walk took a road trip down the road to Port Stanley, Ontario. Heading out that afternoon I was happy to see that it was a generally nice day without any wind in sight. I must admit though that I was a little ‘worried’ that because of the location (outside of London) and the winter weather that the turnout for February’s photo walk might not be that good. Well I have to say that I was impressed.
With about 15 people turning out and a bunch of new faces, the London Photo Walk explored Port Stanley, Ontario and took some great shots. Although the terrain was a little wetter than I had thought it would been, we went up and down the beach, walked in and around the harbour and some of us had the chance to grab a bit to eat afterwards at what appeared to be the only restaurant open in the evening, The Buccaneer.
There certainly is something that is intriguing about heading to a location that typically is visited only during the summer months and capturing the beauty of it on a nice winter’s day. Some great pictures were taken during the day and everyone I spoke to seemed to enjoy the location.
One thing I want to note is that the London Photo Walk isn’t just about walking and taking photos, its about helping those who might happen to get their pickup truck stuck on a mound of snow in a deserted parking lot where ‘luckily’ the London Photo Walk just happened to be.
Before we even started walking on that day we managed to help someone get their truck unstuck in the parking lot, then we watched him drive around the parking lot trying not to get re-stuck. We figured we should help out as we would expect others to do the same for us.
Stay tuned for the details of the March photo walk, we hope to have them in the next week or so.
Oh, and remember, April’s photo walk will be the 1 year anniversary of the London Photo Walk and we will be heading back into East London for our walk.
