Last Saturday was Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk<\/a>. I registered for the Downtown Denver group, led by Timothy Tonge, that met at the Pepsi Center at 6:15pm in the evening. About 35 people attended the event. You can see all participants here<\/a>. Tim welcomed us and explained how the walk operated. We could submit images to the official Photowalk website where prizes would be given. Although we could only submit one image on the official site, Tim had set up a Flickr group<\/a> for attendees to submit their work. Tim briefed us on the route that he had planned, advising us of traffic hazards that we might encounter. And then we set off.<\/p>\n

The sky was filled with light overcast clouds. Temperatures were pleasant for summer. Perfect for making images. You can see more images that I made by visiting my Flickr Photostream<\/a>. At the southwest corner are four stainless steel towers surrounding this structure that holds the “Pepsi Ball”.<\/p>\n

Looking up one of the towers, we see the saucer in the sky.<\/p>\n

Walking past one of the entrances to the Pepsi Center, the sky was reflected in one of the doors.<\/p>\n

We continued on. In the parking lot, someone had deposited a bottled water contained in one of the fence posts. Having made an image with the big camera, Tim jokingly commented that he would me $500 for a good image! I just love a challenge. So out came the iPhone. Here is the “GlowMe” treatment for the image. You can find out more about GlowMe in my post “And Now Something Different<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

And here is the “ShockMyPic” treatment for the same image. More information about ShockMyPic in “More Shock Treatment, After The Storm<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

So I showed these images of the bottle to Tim. He preferred the glowing image. “Now I have to pay you $500”, he proclaimed!<\/p>\n

Walking near Kacey’s, one of the planters in the street contained a hibiscus plant with giant pink flowers. Some digital cameras have the capability of performing in-camera multiple exposures. This hibiscus was the perfect subject. I made 8 exposures making slight movements between each to create this image.<\/p>\n

Soon after, I crossed the road and made my way the Auraria Campus of Metro State College of Denver; this was the location of the 2009 Photowalk that I also participated. The college has several unique architectural buildings located on the campus. The Tivoli Center is one such building that housed the a brewing company. “I Lov It” spelled backwards!<\/p>\n

In the foreground of the Tivoli Center are the Athletic Fields. Here is the track and field.<\/p>\n

Meandering through the campus, I found a dumpster loaded with lots of lovely trash from construction work in nearby buildings. This looks like some insulated tubing from ventilation ducting.<\/p>\n

Nearby is this clock that I have dubbed “The 8 O’Clock” after the design on of the hands.<\/p>\n

I made several other images that you may find on my Flickr photostream<\/a>. As the sun set, I made an HDR image from several frames of the sun setting over the parking lot.<\/p>\n

After returning to the Pepsi, I stopped at the location where we started the Photowalk. Here I captured an image of the Pepsi Ball with one of the towers against a backdrop of the deepening blue night sky.<\/p>\n

After making these images, I headed into Brooklyn’s where we had arranged to meet after the walk. Here I met and chatted with several other photogs. We shared stories and images over dinner and drinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
