Worldwide Photo Walk Melbourne
Deborah Halpern’s “Angel”
Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia
February 24, 2018 @ 13:15 (AEDT)
An opportunity to meet up with people who share a love of photography with all levels of expertise (be it a phone camera to professional grade cameras) and do a photo walk to showcase Melbourne. Or even if you just want to come for a stroll with a friend and take some happy snaps, you are also welcome. The journey begins at Deborah Halpern’s “Angel” in Birrarung Marr at 1:15 pm. We’ll cover just slightly over 2 km in 3 hours to end up at the QV for some Malaysian desserts at about 4:30 pm. We’ll walk mostly along Swanston St with a few detours to take in Hosier Lane and Union Lane which are known for their street art. Swanston St will present you will plenty of opportunities for photography whether your interest is obejcts, food, people, sculpture, architecture, culture or some other. If it’s been a while since you played the tourist in Melbourne, perhaps this might just be the opportunity to see it through fresh eyes.

HI @MariaNgo ,
These days I will go through all the meet-ups approved preparing the Recap of Recaps Video 
(Probably you will read this message in different places, I want to be sure everyone read it 
)
It would be great if you will record yourself in your Meet-Up (or anywhere if it is not possible) and say something like “Hello I am/we are (name of participants or community) from City, Country and Continent” and upload the video (later, when you can but before 1st of March) to this share album plus a maximum of 10 photos of your city (the ones you will make in the Meet-Up) and we will Showcase the Beauty of your City in a collaborative video with the rest ones participating in this World Wide Photo Walk.
I use a basic editor and 360º pics don´t work good… standars ones are better.
if you think 10 aren’t enough you can upload collages or animations as the ones made with google photos, but maximun upload 10 (sorry :)) plus the video.
Let´s do this together.
Good Afternoon from the South of Spain,
Alejandra.

Hi!
Due to bad weather being predicted for tomorrow around the time we’ll be meeting up, I’ve changed the location to inside Flinders Street Station just under the clock tower near the steps. I’ll have with me a white baseball cap and a dark blue backpack so you can spot me more easily.
There is plenty of cafes and shelter along our route that we can wait out any rain. Same time. 1.15 pm.
Feel free to post your photos here during and after the walk to share Melbourne with the world.
See you soon.
Cheers,
Mangoes/Maria Ngo
