Dec 20 Photowalk Update
Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Terry Reinert in Photography
Here is a quick update for those that are planning on attending the photowalk on Saturday…
So far we have about 12 people committed to the photowalk with 7 of them hanging around for lunch after it is over. There are still a few emails I have to go through so those numbers are expected to grow.
The end point for the photowalk will be Meg O’ Malleys restaurant. It is a nice restaurant and Irish pub located on New Haven Ave. You can view their menu online at their website. Just click on the “Our Menu” link on the left sidebar to view it.
Rob Vanelli has hinted to me that he is going to give a short talk about using off camera flashes in an outdoor environment at the beginning of the walk for anyone who is interested. Of course I may have heard him wrong but I am pretty sure that is what he said. So if you’ve been having trouble with off camera flashes or just want to learn a bit more about it then make sure you show up and bug him to learn!
Not to be out done I will give a short talk about the image capturing side of HDR photography and the things to watch for in the field when you want to produce an HDR image. Take a look at my collection of HDR photos by clicking on the page tab at the top of this blog titled “HDR Portfolio” to see some examples of my HDR work.
For those that are members on the DPChallenge website, one of the challenges this week is titled “Window Shopping”. The last leg of the photowalk is down the historic shopping portion of New Haven Ave. So there will be many opportunities to grab a shot that can be entered into the free “challenge” on that site. Just thought I would mention it for any of you that use that site.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a high of 76 degrees with a 5mph wind for Saturday. It is going to be an absolutely beautiful day. For those that are fair skinned or have a phobia of melanoma, make sure you bring sun screen. It will not be hot but it will most likely be bright! Hint: Bring your circular polarizers too!!
Speaking of things to bring… check out the post Vanelli made for the Scott Kelby Photowalk back in August. You can find it HERE. My list of gear that I am bringing is listed below…
- Canon 5D
- 28-135mm Lens
- 75-300mm Lens
- 72mm and 58mm Circular Polarizer Filters
- 2 Speedlight 580 Flash Units
- Many Charged Batteries (don’t laugh – I’ve taken non-charged ones to shoots before)
- Many Empty Memory Cards (again, don’t laugh – I’ve taken many full ones to shoots before too)
- Tripod (make sure to laugh at me when I show up without it because I always forget to bring it)
That’s it for now! We hope to see all of you on Saturday morning. Remember, the walk will officially start at 9am but we will probably hang around in the park at the starting point for a short time to grab some photos of the river and the park.

Hello, I came across you through the Melbourne Flickr group and saw that you all had a photowalk in December. Any plans to do another one? Please let me know if you host another one.
Thanks, Misty
