Vol. 1 No. 35
As promised, I have organized a photo walk for August 16, 2009 to the High Line in Manhattan.
The plan is to meet on Sunday, August 16 at 9:00 am EDT at Ganesvoort Street and Washington Street in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan. From there we will climb the stairs to the elevated High Line park (click here for more information on the High Line). We will leisurely stroll the High Line up to the end of the Phase One section at West 20th Street. Once there, we then turn around and head back south along the High Line so you can capture those images you missed on you northbound trek. When we get back to our starting point, we will return to street level and head across West Street to the Hudson River Park.
Once in the park, we will begin heading south exploring the piers and garden areas until we reach the dog run at Leroy Street. Along the way, we will have time to grab a snack and something to drink. The total walk, start to finish is less than 2 miles and, with our relaxed pace, should conclude around noon.

Vol. 1. No. 34
The deadline for Worldwide Photo Walk participants to submit competition images is July 25, 2009 at 11:59 PM EDT. So, what are you waiting for? Just log into your respective Walk page and upload your two (2) images before it's too late. Judging by the images already uploaded to the LensCapture Flickr Group by our Walk members, I'm puzzled you haven't all submitted contest photos to our WorldWide Photo Walk site. Beginners to advanced amateurs to working pros - you all have a chance to compete and win. Don't talk yourself out of the running. Hurry hurry, time's running out.
Scott Kelby posted a great FAQ, in classic Kelby-style, that might answer some of your photo contest questions. It should be read by all involved.
I will be announcing the details of the upcoming LensCapture August Photo Walk on Sunday right here on the blog. I appreciate all the emails inquiring about this event. Thanks.

Happy New Year
That's the main drive behind Lens-Capture. To see what you see, how you see it, and the resulting images. To help in this, I've created a LensCapture Flickr Group so we can share our images and learn from each other's point of view. Through this venue, we can help each other grow through productive critiques of our collective work.
Some of the other things I would like to accomplish are providing tips and tricks, product and gear reviews, how-to's, and staging some entertaining photo-walks. Photo-walks and meetups are a great way to interact and discover great photo opportunities. Living in one of the greatest cities ( I am entitled to my opinion) offers a wealth of subject matter. From the striking cityscapes, to beautiful botanical gardens, to the aquarium and a world-class zoo, potential subject matter abounds. Besides these locations, I plan to go off the beaten path to the little known spots in the area. Finding a photo op is only part of the adventure, the other is sharing the experiences.
