The Dawson Creek Photo Walk Group

We had a group of 9 solid people who came out on October 1, 2011 for the 1st annual Peace Region Photo Walk and 4th annual World Wide Photo Walk. Ross traveled the furthest, coming from High Level, Ab.

Our group was pretty diverse, several with DSLR’s and a few with Point and Shoots. Keep in mind that having a Point and Shoot doesn’t mean you can’t take a good photo. From what I saw, Monica, took one of the best shots of the day with her point and shoot.

Downtown Dawson Creek offered some pretty cool shots. It has such culture of an old town and many back alleys that allow for some rustic shots. Part of me wishes I could have scouted out first, but then again I should work on taking my time and really capturing what I was seeing.

Dawson Creek Photo Walk coming soon!

Photo Walk Dawson Creek this Saturday, October 1, 1pm – 4pm. Yes I suppose I am really waiting until the last-minute to promote this, but that is how I roll. Or that is how my memory rolls.

What is a Photo Walk you ask? Well it is when a group of people come together from all skill levels of photography to share the hobby. They go along a pre-set route and talk, learn, teach and take photos. Afterward can all gather and share the photos they took.

This photo walk coming up in Dawson Creek, BC will be apart of the fourth annual World Wide Photo Walk. There will be at least 1000 other photo walks happening on the same day across the globe. The official Dawson Creek photo walk page can be found on the site as well.

I’m personally really excited to go on the walk because I enjoy sharing a hobby with other people and hearing why they love it. It is also a good opportunity to share what I know and hopefully pick up some new tricks

Dawson Creek Photowalk

I hope everyone that is interested in Photography at all comes out to at least meet other. Everyone should also go to the Facebook Event Page and RSVP so we have an idea of the numbers coming. See you there at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery at 1pm!

Sneak Peak of the South Peace

Got to go on a photo adventure this evening to gather some stock photos of the South Peace. Below are only a very few of all the photos I got this evening. I wouldn’t say they are the best, but they are neat nonetheless. I definitely think I need a telephoto lens of some sort for those far off barns, but I make due.

Spring Day in Dawson Creek

Over the weekend I spent one night down in Dawson Creek visiting with friends who had just moved into town from their acreage just out of town. One could day Dawson Creek is my old stomping ground… for 2 months anyway. I did attempt to go to school there at the NLC Campus. You can read about it by going through my Dawson Creek tag on here.

We decided to go on a Photography adventure along the walking path that goes through part of the residential area. The colours were slightly dull and I didn’t feel very inspired but here are a couple random, which I boosted the colour on.

From Yellowknife Back to Northern BC

I was back in Yellowknife for only a week and a half before I left again. Most of the time I spent stressing over getting the Jeep registered but I did enjoy my time there.

Unlike when I drove back to Yellowknife, I did this trip in one day. I left at 7am and I arrived at my final destination at about 7pm. 12 hours of nonstop driving.

Although the drive is long, it is very uneventful, there are not many towns you pass through and the highway is never ending. Welcome to Northern Canada
