The 2nd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk was today. You might wonder what a photo walk is, well, it was started by one of the “Photoshop Guys”/best-selling author of digital photography books, Scott Kelby and groups (max. 50 people) from over 900 cities around the world set out rain or shine to take pictures for 2 hours and then meet up at the end of it all at a local bar or pub to share the discoveries. It’s an exercise in creativity and getting photographers away from the computer and learning how to socialize again ;) The walk also has a competitive component as photographers can compete locally for a small prize and internationally for a grand prize worth over $11,000.
Well, the weather here was really bad but I really wanted to get out and take some photos rain or shine and meet some new photographers. A group of about 25 met at the Basilica Church and set out in the pouring rain to try and get what we could without destroying any equipment. I was hesitant as first but once I got out and got soaked, I didn’t care, it was really nice and the rain was warm. My camera and lens protected by a liquor store bag (yes, I got looks LOL) it held up ok. I have two of the fancier rain sleeves but of course when you never use something and you go to look for it, ya just can’t find it! I can’t really work well with them anyway.
Well, here are some pics I’d like to share with you from around town from today. Nothing too exciting, but I had fun for about an hour.
I can only submit 2 of these photos into the competition, I have no idea which 2 I should submit so if you have any suggestions, just leave a comment below. Thanks for your help!
