Photowalk with friends

Thanks to Sundar Narayanan, Prabhu Karthik, Vichu, Sriram and Iyappan, I had a wonderful photographic experience on Saturday.

We had planned to go on a Photowalk to some interesting place around town and decided finally that we'd go to Uvas Canyon County Park.

The weather was nice and it was quiet. We walked up the trail and managed to click a few pictures. I learned a lesson on two in photography and also managed to burn a few hundred calories, thanks to the steep climb up the hill surrounded by tall redwood and other trees.

The day ended with dinner at 'Madras Cafe' which I was told is one of the better ones in town.

Santa Cruz CA - Worldwide Photo Walk

I had a wonderful experience at the Worldwide photo walk last Saturday.

Santa Cruz, CA was the venue.

I've uploaded my pictures to FLICKR.

All the pictures were shot with my Nikon D50 and a Nikon 18-200 VR lens.

Worldwide Photo walk

(With family - May-10-2009)

One of my friends at work mentioned about 'WORLDWIDE PHOTO WALK'.

This year it is on July-18-2009 a Saturday.

Photo walk is a social photography event where photographers get together, usually in a downtown area or trendy section of town to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers.. They finally meet in a Pub, Pizza place or a restaurant, socialize and leave. Of course there is a competition and prizes.

The best part I like in this, is the socializing. I am hoping to meet some good photographers and take some tips/notes.

I've joined the 'Santa Cruz Group' and I am looking forward to the event.

Here are some stats from last year's event:

8.324 photographers register for local walks
47 Countries had participating cities
44 States in the US had Photo Walks
We had a total of 236 cities worldwide
More than 1,017,125 photos were taken on walks that day


If there is a group in your city why not join and have some fun !

If you don't have a group please start one and participate !
