I’ve been hoping somebody would organise a photowalk close to me for a while, but it turns out that if you organise something yourself, it’s more likely to happen. Who’d have thought?

We’ll meet at the Bobbin Mill pub for a bite to eat and a chat at 1pm before heading off for a photowalk round the grounds of Aberdeen University, Old Aberdeen and Seaton Park. If you’d prefer to skip food, we plan to leave the pub at 2pm.

The University of Aberdeen has some beautiful architecture, dating from the middle ages to the modern day, that we can spend a bit of time exploring and photographing. The cobbled streets of Old Aberdeen are well worth a visit and look great through a lens. Seaton Park, one of the cities biggest parks, is beautiful all year round, and will provide a nice contrast to all the architecture shots you’ll be taking.

This is an all-inclusive event. You don’t have to have any photography experience to take part. You don’t need the latest kit to impress. Even a disposable camera will do the job. We can all learn a little something from each other.

Please remember that this is Aberdeen in winter, so you should prepare for cold, rain, snow, wind etc. Or it might be glorious sunshine. You really never know.

I’ve created an Upcoming page for this event here, and there is a Google map of the suggested route below. Please sign up so we have some idea of numbers approaching the day. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the Photowalk, feel free to post them in the comments.

I’ll post any updates for the event here and over at Photografr.com.
