you could always lead a walk and set the time and location that you would like to photograph.

It would be nice if someone would post the details of a walk so people could go on their own. "Photography for the Anti-Social." :D

PS: On thing I enjoyed very, very much was experimenting with my camera's dials and TTL.

In preparation for my photowalks, on Friday I charged my batteries.

After the AA batteries for my TTL were fully charged, I forgot to remove the AA's from the unplugged chargers. Early Saturday morning I had to recharge those AA's. I already knew but forgot that leaving batteries in an unplugged charger drains the batteries.

Fortunately I had removed my camera battery from its charger.

Had plenty of battery power all day long. Never needed to use my extra batteries.

I was out at the marsh this morning and there was a butt load of photographers that all seemed to be part of some group. When we inquired they indicated they were taking part in that photo walk thing.

It's OK though, they will all be gone later and we will have our marsh back. :-)


Yes, that was us. Most of us go there a few times a week. Just not usually at the same time on the same day. LOL Even we wouldn't like that.

BTW Love your photos!

I walked in Annapolis Maryland with a Kelby group. Once the group started out you could be pretty much alone. Here are some of my shots: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-152964-1.html


We did the same. Met up at the beginning, reviewed the rules and the plan for the walk. Then everyone pretty much went their separate ways. We passed each other at times, and some met up for lunch after the morning walk. But, during the walk we were basically a group of individuals.
Because we are a tourist town and a great place for birders, there are always many photographers out and about anyway. But, our tourists are now mostly gone for a couple of months. So mostly just birders and local photogs.

I did a walk in Clinton NY, it was my first, it was a fun way to spend a Saturday morning. It was fun to see what people took photos of. Everyone sees things a little different.

So over all it was a good thing

Yes, definitely. Someone will notice something, and that will catch the attention of the others. It's all about learning how to see.

Yes, this is something I am learning to do. I am definitely getting better, but still have a ways to go. It makes it easier (quicker actually) to learn when with others. I missed a gator munching away on something only 3-4 feet right below me because I was looking out further. By the time someone pointed him out to me, he had just about finished his meal. Lesson learned quickly.

Great shots. You should try walking around North Beach, where I live.

I had the pleasure of meeting some fellow photographers and doing the Photo Walk this year in Glasgow, Scotland! Great time but they nearly walked me to death. :-D

Glasgow is a beautiful place. The Navy sent me there in the 60's.

It was indeed, and the friendly folks I met were the icing on the cake. They thought it was great that I had been up for over 24 hours traveling yet still made their Photowalk. :D
