Tips for Getting the Most out of a “Photowalk”

Photowalks are a great way to get out and get clicking, either by yourself, with a couple of friends, or with a group of people. They can be wonderful for seeing a neighborhood or wild space with new eyes, getting inspired to be more creative with angles and subjects, as well as simply spending time with fun people. Here are a few tips for making sure you get the most out of a photowalk.

Pick a spot with lots of interest

A photowalk is a perfect excuse to go exploring a new area. However, if you’ve never been to the scene before, you might be disappointed at the final photos. Base your chosen spot on what you feel like photographing---whether that is buildings, people, busy streets, a festival, nature and so on, and make sure the place you’re heading for is filled with what you most want to shoot. It will pay off in a satisfying walk if you research your chosen spot beforehand and know what to expect.

Invite anyone, no matter what their skill level is

You’ll be surprised at what you learn from people who seem to know nothing about photography. Even with a simple camera, they can catch some outstanding photos. So bring Aunt Betty or your 10-year-old nephew or anyone else whose company you might enjoy on a walk and keep an open mind.

Don’t forget them

Be sure to take the important small things, such as an extra memory card (or two), an extra fully charged battery, comfortable shoes and clothing. And remember a notepad and pen for taking down notes about places, times, conditions, the names and information of people you meet and any other information you might want to remember about certain shots.

Keep an eye out for danger

Apart from watching the sky for rain, you’ll want to watch out for other people as well. Smartphones are always a target for thieves but they have become much clearer about the value of digital cameras. Don’t make yourself a target by standing for a very long time holding your camera out in front of you. If you’re in an area that is really busy or you aren’t super comfortable, then just be careful about when to use your camera. Imagine your shot in your head before holding up your camera, or use a camera belt wrapped around your wrist or shoulder.

46. To choose a better place for a photowalk, you are supposed to _______.

A. spend time discussing with fun people

B. decide the place on your interest

C. choose famous places

D. find a new area

47. The people you go photowalking with _______.

A. must know the area well

B. have learned photography

C. would like to explore the places for you

D. enjoy walking with you and keep an open mind

48. In a photowalk, you do NOT need to take _______.

A. a battery B. extra memory cards C. a guide D. a camera

49. You can hold the camera around your wrist or shoulder in case _______.

A. it is stolen by a thief

B. it gets wet in the rain

C. it loses some information

D. it falls down on the ground

B
