2024 Kelby Photowalk -Free Tampa Photo Class
On the first Saturday of October each year, photographers and enthusiasts around the world get out their cameras and meet up at a designated location in their town to walk around and take photographs, socialize, make new friends, win prizes, and be a part of a great cause during Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk®
Join me and lots of your friends and neighbors as we tour Ybor City
This year is no different! Join me and a bunch of your Bay Area neighbors when we meet in Ybor City for a great morning of shooting and learning. This photo walk is about taking pictures, meeting people, and having fun shooting. You don’t have to be an experienced photographer. You don’t even have to have a great camera. Bring your phone if that’s what you have. Just come out with an open mind and explore the art of photography. I will help you with your camera settings, explore ideas about different shots, and guide you through some of the more excellent parts of this historic district.
I have been a photography instructor for over 15 years. I probably know how your camera and its buttons and dials should be set, and I will be happy to show you! Please feel free to ask questions during our walk.
Let’s capture the essence of Ybor City as the Cigar Capitol it is.
Shops along our walk will welcome us in to photograph their work and wares
We’ll explore camera techniques that help to create interest in your images and help you figure out some of the buttons and dials along the way.
The district has parks and scenes that some don’t know about
You may park on the street and pay at pay stations, or in the Centro Ybor Parking Garage at 1500 E 5th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605
The Kelby Worldwide Photowalk started 11 years ago to bring people around the world together to explore photography and experience the power of the lens. So far, over 500 walks are planned worldwide on the same day as our walk. How cool is that?
There are no prerequisites for this walk. Whatever camera or phone you have is just right!
To participate, you MUST register. Click HERE. We will meet at the Blind Tiger Coffee Shop at 1823 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605, between 8:45 and 9:00 a.m. and depart on time. If you are unfamiliar with the area, need to find a parking space, or want to come down for coffee, please arrive early. At that time of day, there should be plenty of street parking, but the Centro Ybor Parking Garage is within blocks. We will meet rain or shine. In foul weather, there are plenty of places to take cover and still get some great shots!
Nope, there's no catch. This event is absolutely free. If you choose to donate even a dollar here (and you should), 100% of the profits from the t-shirt sales will go to Springs of Hope Kenya Orphanage, an organization that feeds, houses, educates, and empowers young orphans. Otherwise, it's a morning of hanging out, learning, and photography with no strings attached.
Date: October 5, 2024
9:00 - 11:00 a.m
Blind Tiger Coffee Shop 1823 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605
Please remember this is a walking tour. And, while we won't be running a marathon, we will most likely walk for several blocks. Please be prepared with comfortable shoes, layered clothing, and a bottle of water if needed. Bring only the camera equipment you can comfortably carry.
PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS EVENT IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY YOU WILL NOT ATTEND. There is a limited amount of space, and it usually fills up. Someone gets left out if you take a spot and don't use it.
