FAQs

Q1) What if I rather take photos of food than buildings?

A1) Not a problem – this is a totally free shoot event. You are welcome to take photos of anything that you fancy, be it food, people, buildings, merchants, fellow participants, whatever…

Q2) Can I join if I only have a point-and-shoot camera?

A2) Of course. It doesn’t really matter what camera you have. The only caution I have is if you are using a mobile phone camera. We need to be able to download photos for viewing and sharing after the shoot.

Q3) Can I invite my friends?

A3) Of course. I highly encourage you to invite your friends. It just gets more enjoyable!

Q4) Will I get lost? I don’t know where to walk or shoot? I’ve not been there before.

A4) A map will be given as well as a short briefing. The map will be marked with highlights and the drop-off and pick-up points. One or two suggested walking routes will also be given.
