Don’t forget that tomorrow, Sunday 17th February, is the Old Aberdeen Photowalk.

We will meet at the Bobbin Mill at 1pm for a bite to eat and a drink. If you’re not up for some food, we will meet at the front door of the Bobbin, and at 2pm we’ll head out and explore Old Aberdeen as well as the more modern architecture of Aberdeen University. We’ll take a walk through Seaton Park, and we may head down to the Brig O’ Balgownie. I’m told there is a troll guarding the bridge, so we may give it a miss depending on the mood of the group.

I think we will be finished about 4pm. It’s not a long walk, but I would imagine the time will be taken up looking through lenses and swapping tips.

Please don’t let lack of photography gear or knowledge stop you from coming along. This is a catch-all event, and everybody can learn something new. I’m not a great photographer myself. The reason I’m organising this is to get some tips from others.

It would be really handy if you could take a note of your Flickr/Zooomr/Ipernity pages as well as any photo blogs you have so that I can link to them in my round-up of the day for the blog. If you’re going to share your shots on a photo sharing site, please tag them with the following:

It looks like the weather is going to be sunny, but in Aberdeen this time of year that also means cold. Dress appropriately. We don’t want anybody falling foul of the elements.

By my reckoning there should be about a dozen people coming along, which should make for some good craic. The Upcoming.org page for this event is here. It would be really helpful if you could sign up there.

See you there!
