A digital photography photowalk is a chance for people to get together and practice their photography. It's a chance to share knowledge and learn from others.

We discussed starting this event on this thread - please read it for the thoughts and discussions behind this event.

To get to Sihlwald take the S4 from the Zurich main station (platform 1). The train leaves at 10:18 and arrives 10:43 (return trains leave back to Zurich at 45 past the hour every hour). You can find more information (in German) about the location here.

Driving is also possible, but last time I did it the return journey was "interesting". I sat in almost stand-still traffic along the Sihl due to roadworks which will last until November, and when I got though that I had to queue forever at the end of the autobahn as it terminates in Zurich. Next time I'll give up and just take the train, or drive over the back down to Horgen and take the ferry!

Pre-requisites for this event:

• Willing to share knowledge if you have it, and willing to listen and experiment if you don't.
• Any type of camera is welcome (even film) - compact cameras or DSLRs are welcome.
• You are not expected to know what terms like apeture, ISO mean, but you should at least be able to figure out how to change these settings in your camera if you want to (in other words, if you are completely ignorant as to how to operate your camera, read some of the basic instructions before you go). Please don't expect others to figure out how to operate your camera if you haven't bothered to learn for yourself!
• A willingness to also have some fun and learn at the same time.

Focus for this event will be a nature / water theme. We'll try and photograph some water, and if we can't find much water we'll try and get some nice nature / forest type shots.

There are times in a forest when light is low, so if you have a small tripod, you'd be well advised to bring it with you.

Since we will be wandering around in a forest you are also advised to bring a packed lunch with you.

It is hoped to turn this into a regular event visiting different places - so if you like the idea please show your support.

NOTE: This event is weather dependant - if it looks like bad weather we will move the event to an alternate location (close to Zurich no doubt). Please check this thread the evening before, or on the morning of the event to make sure that there have been no last minute changes!
