Worldwide Photo Walk

On Saturday, I was lucky enough to be one of 50 official Ottawa participants (and about another dozen or two unofficial participants!) in Scott Kelby’s WorldWide Photo Walk. (Scott Kelby is a Photoshop guru and writes great books about digital photography.) My good friend Beach Mama was there, too!

It was a fun evening, despite the quick downpour that trapped us under some overhanging branches near the locks for a while. I got to meet some nice people, including a few I’d “met” previously on Flickr, and it was nice just to be out and about downtown on a Saturday night. (The walk made a loose half circle around the building I work, though — certainly not unfamiliar territory for me. And yet, I think I found a few new perspectives!)

1. Peacekeepers at the gallery, 2. O-train, 3. Cafe, 4. Parliament, 5. Photographer, 6. Music bus, 7. Fountain, 8. Through the gate, 9. Train station reflected in chateau, 10. Statue, 11. Keyhole, 12. Shadow, 13. Over the locks and through the bridge, 14. Water over the locks, 15. Gears, 16. Anna

I took about 200 pictures, but these ones were the best of the lot. I am allowed to upload one or two to the official site, but I can’t decide which ones I like best. Will you help me choose? They’re all numbered in the links below the pictures — let me know your faves!

(You can see the full set on Flickr, or visit the Ottawa Photo Walk group pool on Flickr to see how real photographers do it!)

5. Project 365: summer beauty I think I might have taken nearly a thousand pictures this week.
