Having noticed that you really love photowalks and practicing photography, please allow me to make some recommendations. You may or may not consider this...:
- Before diving to the real world, i suggest that you hold first a sort of a seminar or a forum where you will first discuss the principles and techniques associated with the type of photo-session that you plan to do. This way, you will know the principle first before applying them. I'm sure there are still newbies like me in the group that will benefit alot from the discussion. If you cant get a speaker (paid one) then just do an open forum where everyone can share their learnings and research done. WHY RESEARCH DONE? this brings me to the second recommendation,
- schedule the forum ahead of time and set the specific type of photography you plan to do for the photo-walk so that everybody can research first. This will allow interaction during the open forum, and that will make the session more meaningful as everybody will participate.
- Study the weather pattern before scheduling the photowalk. This is critical so as to make sure that your schedule will materialize and reduce frustration on the part of some members. The right schedule determines the success of the planned photo-walk...
Just my thoughts...
