“Rescheduled” Photo Walk

Under: Events 29 March 2010 4 comments

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.

Cancelled: Photo Walk

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.

Photo Field Trip Success!

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.

Photo-walkers to the rescue

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.
