Light my Path - Phone Photo Walk
Details
Theme:
Architecture - St George's Cathedral
Meeting point:
Holy Grounds Cafe (near Pier Street)
Take a step back in time as we explore one of Perth city's gem. Steeped in history, St George's Cathedral was listed on the Western Australian Heritage Register in 2001 as a testament to its time, its place in Perth's history and the city's streetscape. Join us for a guided tour with the cathedral's custodians as we meander though the heritage walkways and marvel at the stain glass windows.
Timeline:
12.45pm: Gather
1 - 2 pm: Guided Tour
2 - 3 pm: Walk around the compound (outside)
This is not a religious event and the guided tour would be held at a time where there is no church service. As St George's Cathedral is open to public, we would respect other visitors who may be there for personal reasons. We respectfully ask our friends not to take photographs of people especially those who are praying. Otherwise, photography within the building is allowed.
Subject:
- windows
- brickwork
- floors/walls
- part of the building/(s)
Framing Techniques:
- wide-angle
- low angle
- zoom-in
This would also be a good opportunity to explore the different ways to frame a picture. Rather than the usual "take a picture of the whole building"... Think: "how would the picture look like if I just focused on the bricks"?
Our event aims to promote better photography with mobile phones through techniques and knowledge. This event draws attention to the difficulty with light when taking photos indoor. Due to the low light within the church compound, the resulting photos may not be as pretty. (Be warned... You may unwittingly gain an innate desire to upgrade to a better camera...)
BUT! It's not about the photo (there are heaps of better ones on the internet). It's about being on a journey starting out with strangers with an interest for photography. It's about making friends along the way sharing a passion for life. If this sounds like you, click the sign up button and book yourself a spot.
We welcome participants with all experience (a.k.a. none required). You'll only need a phone with camera to begin. Learn a skill or share a view. Be amazed at what you can achieve.
Or! Just come down and socialise. Make friends and memories in your pursuit of light.
Notes
- The party will set off at 12.55pm for a 1pm start. If you arrive after, let us know on the app and we can update you with the location.
- Dress comfortably for the weather. It may be chilly or sunny in this funny weather.
- This event will proceed in the event of rain under shelter. Bring a light water resistant jacket.
"Be the light that you seek."
