'Photo Walk' Planned in Dunedin Saturday

Get out your camera for Worldwide Photo Walk in downtown Dunedin, followed by lunch at Kelly's with fellow photography enthusiasts.

For photographers of all skills levels and with all types of equipment — from consumer-grade point-and-shoots to high-end professional cameras — Saturday is the fifth annual Worldwide Photo Walk, and a local walk is planned for downtown Dunedin.

Worldwide Photo Walk is a free social photography event organized by Scott Kelby, the president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. Volunteer walk leaders guide groups of up to 50 photographers on a tour of an interesting or photogenic area.

The official cutoff date to lead a walk was Oct. 1, but there is still time to register to be a photo walker.

In 2011, there were more than 1,000 photo walks around the globe, an upwards of 28,000 participants, according to the Worldwide Photo Walk website. This year, there are already 1,334 walks scheduled and nearly 30,000 walkers registered.

Because it is a social event, the fun keeps going after the walking photo shoot. Participants meet up at a bar or restaurant afterward to share and compare their pictures.

The Dunedin walk is hosted by Matt Kloskowski. Participants will meet at 10 a.m. at the benches downtown on Main Street. The walk goes until noon and will be followed by lunch at Kelly's.

"We’ll start off on Main street in downtown Dunedin," Kloskowski writes in his online description for the walk. "From there we’ll walk through the side streets and down to the water where you’ll be able to photograph everything from colorful buildings, street photography and waterfront scenes."
