Leica Store Manchester Photo Walk

Join us on our first monthly Saturday Photo walk around Manchester & Salford - learn techniques, have fun & meet other like minded people!
About this Event

September Photo Walk: A general photowalk to introduce our team here at Leica Store Manchester. Please come along with any camera that you have - any compact or SLR camera, digital or film, all are welcome!

Join us at 10:30am on Saturday September 5th, outside our Leica Store Manchester shop for a Saturday Morning Photowalk around the streets and canals of Manchester and Salford.

For our first monthly photo walk we will be focussing on the shapes and patterns found within our city’s architecture and the contrast found between the old and the new city centre buildings.

Good composition will be essential for your photographs to convey the scale and connection between the old and the new - we will be looking at repeating patterns, leading lines, symmetry and shape to help compose our images.

Photo opportunities are aplenty along this route - from the old Salford streets off Chapel Street, to the more modern and brutal architecture found around The Slate Yard, with the old mills and factories contrasting with the new tower blocks and modern glass covered structures found around the Castlefield Canal basin. The return route offers similar opportunities.

No matter what camera system you use - whether film or digital, all are welcome to join us on our walk.

However, a camera equipped with a standard zoom (24-70mm) or a wider prime lens (28/35mm) may be useful in order to capture the wide urban landscapes as well as any street scenes that you may wish to photograph.

All ages and abilities are welcome.
