Mobile Mayhem Downtown Photowalk

Since the advent of the new Mobile Mayhem section I thought it would be cool to organize a Mobile based photowalk downtown. We'll all meet downtown and wander around shooting photos etc... BUT i suggest sticking to using your mobile phone as your primary camera.

I will have a thread created the day of the event for all of us to upload our photos to via our mobile phones.

If some want to bring out their bigger camera etc youre welcome to but I challenge you to think about just using your phone for the day. This will force you to concentrate on the composition of the shot and not get wrapped up in all of the switches, gizmos and lenses you may be lugging around!


July 17, 2011

Meetup Time: 4pm til Whenever

Hard Rock Cafe
502 Texas Avenue
Houston, TX
(713) 227-1392

Map Located HERE

-----------------------------------
UPDATE
-----------------------------------


Well here's a challenge... for those that dont want to shoot with mobiles how's this... pick from one of the below to challenge YOURSELF for the day...
  • Shoot with mobile phone only
  • Shoot with point and shoot only
  • Shoot DSLR with ONLY one lens (prime or zoom)
  • Shoot DSLR with ONLY a prime lens
  • Shoot DSLR with ONLY a prime lens at a set aperture like f/2.8
  • Shoot with anything and everything you like... no restrictions

these are just some different options to help challenge yourself and keep you learning. I often times shoot with only one prime lens wide open at like f/2.8. this makes you focus more on composition then worrying about different focal lengths, apertures, lens choices etc....

I can take pictures with my camera and send them to my t-moblie account. Then I would have to upload them with a computer. Would that be legal?

Or maybe I'll forgo all the rules and steal Keith's IR filter for the day if he shows up. Always have been a rule breaker except for all the times I am completely innocent

If you're too young to drive, I suggest you let your parents know where you are going and get a ride. If you're wheelchair bound, we travel pretty slowly - even if you're in a walker you could probably keep up

Correct, there is no age limit. What we shoot is basically rated G with some exceptions where it could be PG-13. Now the chit-chat, that could be rated R.

heck, some never leave the gutter. Both in chatting and taking pics downtown.

I'll probably show, but with a DSLR camera (since I hate my iPhone camera). But I might just cripple myself to one lens for the camera. Thinking my old 50 (if I can find it) or the old Lens Baby.

We all have fun and enjoy each other's company. It's also cool to see what people see that you have missed afterwards.
