The Worldwide Photo Walk 2014, on October 11th was very successful! We tell a bit about the event, the people and the news here.
The Worldwide Photo Walk 2014 is organized yearly by Scott Kelby, well known photographer, book author and head of KelbyOne website on photography, Photoshop and Lightroom courses. It was held on over one thousand cities and involved over 20 thousand photographers!
Before the walk
At Juiz de Fora, Brazil, the walk was officially organized by JF in Focus with Marcos as Walk Leader. During preparatory time 15 blog posts were published, with detailed information on all aspects like registration, safety, the contest, prizes. KelbyOne posts like articles with tips were translated into Portuguese. Organization was run on our Meetup site.
The Photo Walk
We were thirty photographers on October 11th, a great group by any international standard!

Aerial video of the walk
one of the photographers, Paulo Souza, also owns a company about aerial photography and film making using a drone, ProDrone.
Paulo took his drone equipped with a GoPro Hero3+ camera and produced a great movie of our Worldwide Photo Walk!

Beautiful Juiz de Fora, movie by Paulo Souza!
Photo walkers can be seen down
there in many scenes,
especially at the bridges, with their cameras,
tripods and enthusiasm!
Sunny day, great sunset, great walkers. We certainly had a great time!

After that, Paulo showed his movie to Scott Kelby, who liked it and selected one of Paulo's photos for publishing on Photoshop User Magazine.
