What is Photowalking?

* Photowalking is the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things that the photographer may find interesting.

* It’s a social photography event where photographers get together, usually in a downtown area or trendy section of town, to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers.

While not exclusive to digital photography, in practice digital photography makes Photowalking more realistic as a hobby due to its experimental nature, the number of pictures typically taken in the process, and the possibility of post-processing afterward.

While closely related to Street photography, photowalking is differentiated by the main impetus being to photograph things of interest rather than people specifically. It is also often done as a method to practice and improve one’s own photography skills rather than a with specific focus on documentary photography.

Photowalking is also a form of exercise as it can take the photographer over the course of several miles as they wander a particular site or neighborhood.

But don’t forget to visit Photowalklist.com to find more photowalks near you!

AdoramaPix is giving away a bunch of goodies so we decided to join in the fun.

Scott and Andrew Yaniuk, another employee at Mack, will be heading out to Feltville prior to the photowalk and will photograph something. Something that everyone will see but not everyone will capture.

After the photowalk, when everyone winds down and uploads their photos to the Photowalk flickr pool photos tagged with FeltvillePhotowalk0609 will be searched.  Whoever captured a photograph very similar to the mystery shot will win the Lexar Shoot-n-Sync EyeFi card.

If multiple people capture the image then the winner will be chosen by the president of Mack Camera, Jennifer. She will look through those images and pick her favorite as the winner.

If no one finds the mystery shot, then no worries. We will figure out another way to give the card away!
