Photo Walk- South Bank
This location is shown only to members
Join us for a photo walk along amazing South Bank!
South Bank is an area of incredible history, architecture, culture and regeneration.
This area is full of contrasts. It offers amazing photographic opportunities for portraits and architecture alike.
Originally isolated and defined by the Thames, for centuries this riverside location developed in a very different way from the affluent north bank. A marshy expanse of slum housing and country estates; a rural haven of green fields and pleasure gardens a dynamic hub of industry and manufacturing; a nucleus of nineteenth-century theatre and entertainment venues; a host to the largest railway terminus in the country; anda byword for post-war cultural restoration.
South Bank is now home to great national centres for art and culture, a vibrant and growing community and some of London’s finest achievements in architecture, such as the London Eye, which drew the attention of the world in the Millennium Year. 
Throughout its history, the South Bank has endured fire, flood, slum clearance, railway demolition, devastating bombing, and the ebb and flow of investment and industry.
Consequently, the area is peppered with unique examples of architecture and hidden mementoes from the past that are waiting to be explored.
All cameras are welcome- digital, film, point-and-shoot, even camera phones.
We will spend about 2-3 hours walking and taking pictures, and then will go for a coffee or a pint to have a look at the fruit of our hard work ;)
See you there!

I'm limiting the group to 12 people, because it would be difficult to chat with everyone and wait for everyone if there is more of us ( and I want to chat with everyone and wait for everyone as well ;))
I'll be adding new meetups almost every week. If there are some free spaces, I'll add you guys first!Posted January 13 at 8:56 PM | 1 like -

that's a good spot to meet - usually not many people about so it will be easy to spot people who are milling about looking lost and unsure with camera's in their hands (oh wait... tourists do that too ;-))

I'm limiting the group to 12 people, because it would be difficult to chat with everyone and wait for everyone, if there is more of us (and I want to chat with everyone and wait for everyone as well ;)) Just want to give everyone enough time to take as many pictures as they like without slowing the group down too much. I may change the number of people for the next walk to 15, will see how it goes tomorrow.
