well I'm glad this has garnered a lot of interest. This photowalk would be on a weekend as I think a lot more of us would be free to go. Personally I'm leaning towards Granville Island since its relatively "easy" in terms of variety of stuff to shoot.

Captain Picard, your friend can come along to but seeing as most on this part of the forum have DSLRs, he/she may feel a bit left out. Ideally I'd like this photowalk to be not too big in terms of numbers just because its easier to learn from each other in a tighter group. If mana and senna and/or other veterans want to be "mentors" or just be around to help some of the noobies out, that'd be appreciated. I'm no expert but I'll try to give tips when I can.

If we get enough input or responses, maybe we can get something organized for this weekend?

Can i tag along without doing anything. Maybe I'll do a videoshoot. :lol

not down for granville island, just because traffic on a weekend is bad....

yep I realize that, that's why I would suggest being there at 8:30 in the morning, the market opens at 9am. If we met up that early, it's really not that busy and gives us a lot of space to roam around. We could also have lunch down there too. But of course I'm open to suggestions. I can shoot almost anywhere.

I'm down!

Might I suggest something that leads into the night so we can practice some night photography? Although, it might not be easy to pack light anymore!

Might i suggest we meet at somewhere like Broadway and Granville and walk down to Granville Island? Common meeting area, and take a short walk to get there so we don't have to go crazy and find parking down there, cause it sucks!

this saturday = big no no for me :(

A Sunday would be awesome :)

i have a hurting d40x but would love to learn some stuff before i upgrade to a better camera...

 

I am in.

im totally down if im in town!

down

I am definitely in for this! Need to upgrade from noob status to semi-noob status :)

im down for this also but depends on the day

Lets make a date here, enough talk and start planning. Sunday Jan 24, 2010. 10am meet in front of Chapters at broadway and granville. We'll walk down to Granville Island and go banana's! If there it lots of people maybe break off into two groups and go at it! Thoughts?

is there free parking in that area?

Do we have to bring cameras? .. Cuz I take photos with my mind!

But I can totally try to fit in if that's the case

according to envrioment canada, its going to rain on sunday.

no rain shooting for me! perhaps if i had a 1D Mk4 that was weather sealed, but alas, my 50D wouldn't like the rain :(

a sunny day or a clear night would be nice for this photowalk.

^ agreed
T1i + rain = not so good

I dont know what weather station to trust. Here is the outlook for the next couple of days.

weatheroffice seems to get it right more often. They're also west coast based I believe, whereas Weather Network is east coast and couldn't get a forecast for vancouver right if their life depended on it...

^ so true, so very true.
