Description

Let’s lace up our shoes, charge our cameras, and head out together for a themed photo walk In downtown Omaha. This an exciting chance to get together with other photographers and photograph the renovated Gene Leahy Mall as well as Omaha's historic Old Market. What is the theme? You’ll find out once you’re there! I’ll reveal the theme of the event, using the historic Old Market as inspiration. We’ll then walk around the area, taking photos, talking, asking questions, and getting some help along the way. Instructor Jerred Z will give some great tips for photography during our walk, and others are encouraged to chime in with tips of their own. We will start off at the West parking lot behind Kaneko, meet in a group to discuss the theme, then walk around the Old Market as a group while taking photos along the way. Topics Covered: Our “theme” will help us define how we see the Gene Leahy Mall and Old Market, and we’ll talk about interesting ways composition can help us get better photos. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions about their cameras and lenses, getting help from the instructor and everyone else in the group. Who Should Take This Class? Anyone! This is for brand new photographers, and any seasoned pros who want to get together, take pictures, meet new people, and have fun. The power in these “Photo Walks” is in the community we form while taking on the challenge of seeing things in new ways. This is powerful for any photographer!
