I recently participated in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk through the Eau Claire area of Calgary. Each year, photographers around the world participate in photo walks in their communities on the same day, entering a photo contest for a chance to win prizes. Personally, I enjoy the opportunity to explore parts of Calgary in a new way and observing how other photographers capture the same scenes.
I previously participated in a photo walk in Inglewood in Calgary.
Below are a few of my favourite photos from this year’s walk.
-
- While waiting for the walk to start, I took this “self portrait” in the reflection of a restaurant window. I like how the framing almost makes it look like an old Polaroid photo.
-
- A few leaves have become stuck in this gate behind the stage in Prince’s Island Park.
-
- The annual photo walk always seems to take place a couple weeks after Calgary’s best fall colours have already fallen to the ground.
-
- This is Summit, who belongs to a friend of the photographer who was leading our walk. It was great to have a willing model to photograph during the walk!
