I know this is last minute. I’ve discussed the possibility of an indoor, studio lighting based event on the Flickr forums for a few weeks. I just now secured a location and so I’m going to go ahead and try to make this happen.

The location details are at the Upcoming page for this event. We’ll meet at the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, East County Station, at 1:30pm, this Saturday, April 26th, 2008. If you think you can make it, please try. I’d love to have more than a handful of people.

We’ll all bring any lighting gear we have. The goal is to have us all set up our “studios” around the room and practice shooting. I’m going to try and get a couple of volunteer “models” to help keep everyone busy. The real learning will come when we can help each other learn a bit more.

Even if you can’t attend, please spread the word to anyone in our area!

Ventura’s photowalk had a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shinning with a few clouds in the sky. We had a great turn out with 28 photo walkers. We all met at the base of the Ventura Pier. We decided to take a group photo.

There were many different groups join our photowalk from Flickr, Zooomr, Betterphoto and the Ventura County Camera Club. After everyone got to know each other, we then walked down California St to the San Buenaventura City Hall. After the city hall, we walked down Main St. to the San Buenaventura Mission. We then walked down Figueroa St to Surfers Point. We ended the photo walk at the Ventura Pier for a great sunset and the start of a chilly evening with the wind kicking up and providing a little wind chill.

I would like to thank all that joined us on the Ventura Photowalk and really enjoyed talking to all.
