World Wide Photo Walk

August 26th, 2008 by Sallad

Thomas and I participated in Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photo Walk on Saturday. Groups of photographers, amateur and professional, gathered in 236 locations around the world to photograph their surroundings on the same day. We joined up with the Buckhead (near downtown Atlanta) group, led by Judith Pishnery, and took some urban architecture and night photography.

Buckhead Skyline

This is not our typical subject matter for photography, but I had a good time learning about long exposures. I downloaded the new Lightroom version to edit them, and so far, so good. I’m really enjoying the free presets offered by Lightroom Killer Tips.

Freeze Frame

This is my favorite shot that I took. My battery was running out, but when I turned around to see where Thomas was, I saw the bus passing in front of him as he was taking a photo of the sky and tried to quickly snap the shot. It feels a bit frozen but with a lot of motion to me.

Vroom

Thomas and I have posted our photos online and submitted a few to the contest Flickr group. Check them out if you get a chance.

    Great pictures. I love the idea of the photo walk. Great way to learn and get out and explore.

    The bus photo is awesome. You are absolutely right, frozen with a lot of motion. Great capture!

    What a fun thing to do. Must find out if San Diego does something like this! Good for networking too, I’m sure.
