BREAKING NEWS: Worldwide Photo Walk 2012 - Sign up now
For the fourth year in a row, I am leading the Shetland leg of the Worldwide Photo Walk. I hope you will join me in this global event which involves thousands of fellow photographers around the world.
The photo walk will take place on Saturday 6th October from 2pm-4pm. After last years successful walk at Michaelswood in Aith, this year the location is Scalloway where there should be some excellent photographic opportunities including the new museum, harbour, castle and Main Street. We may even strike lucky and get some dramatic skies as the sun sets. I would really appreciate if you would help promote this free event through your Facebook and Twitter pages.

NOTE: The Shetland leg of the Worldwide Photo Walk will take place on the 6th October. Please ignore the official site which says the walk is on the 13th October.
Q: When will the walk take place?
A: The walk will take place on Saturday 6th October from 2pm-4pm.
Q: Where does the walk start and end
A: The meeting point will be at the car park next to the Scalloway Meat Company just before 2pm. We will finish the walk there at 4pm where walkers will have the chance to review the images they’ve captured at the Scalloway Hotel.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: The event is FREE and open to all ages, abilities and types of cameras. The main objective of the event is to enjoy taking some photos and maybe learn a few tips and tricks along the way. I shall be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Once again this year there are some really cool t-shirts for walkers where 100% of the profits will go directly to the Springs of Hope Orphanage in Kenya (last year over $10,000 was raised to feed and cloth the children). I’d recommend you order as soon as possible to ensure delivery before the 6th October. To order your shirt click here.
Q: What is the Worldwide Photo Walk?
A: The Worldwide Photo Walk is the world’s largest global social photography event in the history of photography itself where photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together, usually in downtown areas to socialise, learn new tips from each other, and explore their corner of the world through photography.
In addition to enjoying a day of photography with other like-minded individuals, participants may also be eligible to win prizes from the Worldwide Photo Walk’s sponsors if their photo is chosen as the best photo of the day by their walk leader Ben Mullay.
Each winning walk photo is then entered into a global competition where Scott Kelby picks the single “best photo” of the event along with 10 runners-up. Full details are available at: http://worldwidephotowalk.com.

If you have any photo walk questions then please contact me via email at ben@benmullay.com.
I hope to see you on the 6th October joining thousands of fellow photographers around the world to spend two hours of dedicated photography time.
