12 noon 20th Feb at Barbican.

We had a cracking walk in and around the Barbican on Sun, great to catch up with everyone again, what a huge turnout!

Our top shot from the walk was ‘Barbican Centre through the eyes of a fish’ by 303DB (Justin Morris):

Sun 9th Jan Columbia Road Flower Market

Turned out to be a stunning day for a photo walk – blue sky’s and no reported frostbite.

The Flower Market was full of colourful flowers and vendors, an ideal subject – only downside was it was pretty small! So thanks to the vendors for their patience and good humour in the resultant peppering they received.

Record numbers for this photo walk? We think so!

Some really beautiful and breathtaking photos from this walk, and so varied. Again we’ve filled our boots with our top choices rather than sticking to just five!

Our favourite shot from the walk though was:

Our other top shots (in no particular order) were:

Fag Break by Stark (Maynard Chase)

Lady in Red by 'Bunny Hat' (also Pixie's photo of the day!)

Sat 20th Nov 12 midday walking up the whole of Portobello Road Market

We had a fantastic walk up the length of Portobello Road Market. It was a great subject for photography, with so many characters running the stalls and such interesting trinkets and wares on display. The main difficulty was the density of the crowds though very hard to get a clear shot without someone walking in to frame – despite that we have an absolutely cracking set of photos.

There were some more new faces, so good to meet more keen photographers and see the different ways that people interpret the same subjects.

Very tough to choose the winner again this walk but our top choice goes to FastFiftyPhoto for his shot ‘Who Needs Gloves’:

Canary Wharf! Evening Photo Walk – Thu 12th Aug 7.00pm

Wow, what a cracking photo walk! I don’t think most of us knew what a brilliant subject Canary Wharf would turn out to be.

Despite rain at the start of the walk we still had a great turn out, and those intrepid enough to brave the weather were well rewarded – the sun shone through breaks in the cloud giving stunning evening light on the sky scrapers. Oh and don’t forget ‘that sunset’

Thanks again to one of our photo walkers – Chris Beach –  for putting together a map showing where some of the best points of interest were. We’ll leave it up here in case anyone else wants it. Chris’ Canary Wharf Map

A really great selection of images to choose from again this walk, so here goes… Our winning pic is…… RPY_3616solar by Kunaal Gosrani

Congratulations Kunaal, really stunning shot, we love what you’ve done with the post production, looks like something from a Sci Fi film.

Sunset, Evening, Photo Walk!

Location: The Thames and Embankment.

Meeting Point: Victoria Embankment, Blackfriars, Millenium Pier 19.30

It was another great turnout last week for our Night Photowalk with some of our regular photowalkers but great to see so many new faces.

Despite it being a cloudy night and not able to get any sunset shots, the night shots collated are superb. Well done to everyone who patiently waited for the sun to set (around 9.00pm) to catch the Houses of Parliament in a glorious golden light.

I saw some great images on the evening which are still stored on cameras somewhere. Please share your images with everyone on Pix.ie as we appreciate every image taken, even the ones taken an iphone!

Meeting up in Battersea, 8 miles away was a bit ambitious but well done who made it to the revised pub in Vauxhall. We’ll keep the walks a bit shorter in future!

Well it was a very tough choice for our favourite shot this walk… So many stunning images, London really is hard to beat at night. We thought though that for it’s striking composition, simplicity and originality this was our favourite shot, BIG Ben by Xerophytes.

Location: Greenwich, meeting point: Outside the Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Greenwich Church Street 12 midday.

It was a scorching hot day for our May photo walk, pushing 30 degrees! Despite that (knowing mad dogs and Englishmen… because of that!) we had another cracking turnout with people again travelling from all parts of the country to join us for the walk.

Big thank you to the Old Royal Naval College who kindly gave us permission to photograph inside the stunning Painted Hall.

Another really strong field to choose from again as we try to decide our photo of the walk and other top shots, well here goes…

Location: Camden, meeting point: Outside SuperDrug, opposite Camden Tube on Camden High Street, 12 midday.

It was a stunning day for the walk and our best turn out yet!

Camden turned out to be a great choice for a photo walk, inspiration from all angles.

Really lovely to see so many new faces (and serious talent!) joining us on the walk.

The usual task of picking our favourite shot and top 5 (always seems to turn out to be top 7/8 ) has been made particularly tough this time thanks the the high standard of photography.

So…. drum roll…. Our photo of the walk this week is… All You Can Eat by Chris Beach!

As you can see we chose rather more than five again… Hey ho!

Location: Hyde Park, meeting at the Serpentine Bar and Kitchen, 12 midday.

It was grey, wet and cold and yet we got some stunning shots. Moody skies abound in this walks round up – showing you can get inspiration from the dullest of days.

We walked along the serpentine, crossed the river and headed for the Albert Memorial before the weather getting the better of us and retreating to the pub!

Great to see some more new faces this time with Will, Tim and Rupert all joining us for their first walk.

Again another tough week to decide our fav shot but Pix.ie helping by voting one of Mikey Fletch’s shots as photo of the day!  This is also the second time that Mikey’s been our pick of the bunch so he’s our most decorated walker to date Congratulations Mikey!
