Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk

The Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk will be on October 5th. It’s a social photography event where photographers get together to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers.

Scott Prokop will be leading the Saskatoon portion of the Worldwide Photo Walk. This walk will be through Broadway Avenue to capture the architecture and scenery of the area. If Broadway is not your thing, a part of the group can also take a tour towards the river to capture the sunset which is at about 6:35pm. We will start and end at the Broadway Roastery just off 5 corners on Broadway &12th Street (not the 8th Street location). Feel free to grab some Java before we start but I encourage to all photo walkers to get together for a drink after the walk to network. This is open to all ages and all levels of photographers.

The best photo from the Saskatoon walk will receive Scott Kelby’s Lightroom 5 Book for Digital Photographers eBook and also be eligible for the grand prize valued at over $13,000! Check out the details here.

Mall Display

We will be having our annual display at the Circle Centre Mall from October 21 – November 24, 2013. We will require volunteers on October 20th, 10am-noon, to set up the display.

Portfolio Reviews

We will be having portfolio reviews at the meeting on Tuesday, September 17th. Our own senior members will critique the portfolios of the other members.

You will have 10 minutes with your photographic adviser. Please bring 10-15 images to show. If you are bringing prints please make them no smaller than 5×7 and no larger than 11×14. If bringing digital images, you must bring your own computer or tablet charged and ready to go. We do not have internet in our room so we cannot look at web sites unless you have the files on your computer.

Please bring your very best work!
