(This is a re-print of a post originally written by Jeremy Hall on his blog at whatsgottastay.com)

In a second recap of this great event, Jeremy Hall put together some footage from our last "photowalk" (term used loosely this month) to give newcomers a taste of what it was all about.



Again, thanks to the organizers, Rich Legg, Ann Torrence and Bryan Jones for getting this all started. Extra thanks to those putting in the time and effort to share their studio setups and knowledge on using them. If you are in the Utah area and have interest in hanging out with a bunch of other enthusiasts, I highly recommend you check out the group and join us on future events.

Photowalking Utah: Studio Photography - Recap

(This is a re-print of a post originally written by Rich Legg on his blog at leggnet.com)

What happens when you put 75 photographers, 8 studio lighting setups, 9 models, a gear tryout table and 25 door prizes in a 6,000 square foot church auditorium? The answer is simple - a great photographic time!

Last Saturday's indoor photowalk was a rousing success. With the addition of the Utah Photo Safari & Salt City Photo club members joining the Photowalking Utah regulars, the energy in the room was incredible. The participants got a chance to walk among the different lighting setups and to shoot the various models while meeting and talking with fellow shooters.



Our good friend Berkely at Pictureline hooked us up with plenty of Nikon and Canon swag for the prize table. Many a photographer walked away with more Canon and/or Nikon goodies than they arrived with.

To take a look at the 150+ photos (posted so far) in the Photowalking Utah Flickr group, visit flickr.com/groups/photowalkslc.

Special thanks go out to Gateway Community Church for the use of their building, Pictureline for the prizes and to all of the folks who brought gear and muscles to set-up and tear down the room. It was great to hear from the church that they felt we left the room in better condition than we found it.

The triumvirate leadership of Photowalking Utah is busily planning the next two events. Stay tuned here or at PhotoWalkingUtah.com for details.
