PhotoWalking – Metro Detroit
Are you interested in photography? Like to see new places (or new things in old places)?
Chances are you’d enjoy Photo Walking. Here’s the basic idea: we meet at 6pm at a nearby location and walk around for 2 hours taking photos of anything that strikes you as interesting, sharing tips and tricks and stories along the way.
Two fellows started this a year ago – see the beginning here. So, I’d like to invite you to a PhotoWalk in the Detroit area for the month of October, hopefully we can catch some great shots of the changing season!
Here’s a list of possible locations:
- Royal Oak (always has interesting people and places)
- Northville (both urban and nature areas)
- Kensington Park
Possible dates:
- Oct 19
- Oct 21
- Oct 26
- Oct 27
- Oct 28
You might want to bring along the following:
- Backpack / fanny-pack
- Water bottle
- Sandwich
- Extra Batteries
- Extra Memory Card (if you shoot digital)
- Tripod / Mono-pod (when it gets dark, you’ll want this)
- Camera (or two)
- Lenses (if you have an SLR)
Anyone is welcome! No agenda, just folks coming together to take photos and enjoy a walk! If you’re not interested or can’t make it, tell a friend, you’d be surprised by all those “closet photographers” out there…
Please leave a comment on the best day/location for you, we’ll be setting a hard date by this weekend and finalizing the location by the following weekend.

Thanks for the invite. My time that’s available for this is over the weekend of the 26-28th.
Since I just finished one month of Royal Oak, I am not interested to go there as much as I am Kensington or Plymouth, or Northville, even Mayberry Farms…that metro park off Beck Rd and is it 6 Mile? Even the walking path that starts at Oakley Park and ends at Wixom is good I think.
Thanks for thinking to invite me.
Let me know about the photo shoot. Now to find my camera. LOL I had a listing appt. the other night. couldn’t find my camera although I’d made a point to bring it.. (!!)
With enough heads up I should be able to find the goofey thing before you do the walk.
Hi Brett:
Tory passed on your photoadventure info to me.
Thanks for this great idea. Those dates, however, just don’t work for me. I’ll watch for other sessions. In fact, on the 19, 20, 21, I’ll be with the Great Lakes Photo Tour at Glen Arbor.
