This weeks photography challenge is photo walk.
What is a photowalk?
A Photowalk is a walking tour for photographers or photography enthusiasts. They can be held in a variety of different places. They’re great for practising your photography techniques, learning new skills, seeing new places, and socializing with other photographers.
What is the theme for this weeks challenge?
If you are meeting up with a group for a photowalk, they usually provide a theme to work with. If they don’t, then you are free to pick one of your own and get creative. Choosing a theme will help you to keep your focus.

Where to Find a Photowalk
Check with your local camera club or look for a MeetUp group. Most cities do have photography groups that get together occasionally for a variety of reasons. If you can’t find one, consider starting your own.
Going Solo
If you aren’t ready to join a Photowalk group, go solo. Solo walks provide you the freedom to wander at your own pace in whatever direction you choose. Go somewhere you’ve never been before, choose a different route than you would normally walk, and pick a theme to work with to stay motivated.
