What we’re about
This group is about photography and walking around the beautiful city of Vancouver and capturing candid images of the city and its surrounding beauty. The idea here is to get together with other photographers and have a great time just talking photography, having a great outing and enjoying our city.
So, who should join?
Photographers, no matter how experienced can join. If you got a new point and shoot camera last week or you only have a smartphone camera, or even if you are a seasoned pro with years behind the lens, this group is for you. The vision (scuse the pun) is to get out in the city and outdoors and capture the beauty that surrounds us. You don't have to know the camera world jargon, you don't have to know what an F-Stop is, but you might learn about that when we get together. This group is for photography enthusiasts of any level of expertise.
You are welcome to join us, we would like to have Photowalks every weekend in the future, so lets make this happen..join us now!
What does it cost?
There is no cost to join a Photowalk, they are FREE. The only cost will be in your time and transportation to get to the place where the photowalk is taking place.
We are planning to have 2 Photomarathons (more about this later) a year, which will be charged for, but the photowalks will always be free.
