I met up with a whole lot of tweeters in Newtown this morning for a photowalk, and I really enjoyed it. We didn’t get to really spend time in Newtown during the Worldwide photowalk a few weeks ago, and I’ve always wanted to walk around there, so this was an ideal opportunity. I learnt a lot in the process about functions on my camera that I never knew existed, and I was in awe of some of the equipment that some of the guys were carrying.
First up, I have to show you my favourite shot of the day… taken right at the very end of the walk…

These painted silhouettes on the steps outside the Market Theatre were so very cool!

Some public water fountains next to the Theatre









I tried to push myself on this walk and take photos of things I normally pass by… as you can see there are almost no people shots! Next time though, I’m definitely not going to forget my tripod and triggers for my flash so I can try some strobist stuff like the other guys were doing!
So, after last week’s beach theme for my Weekly Winners post, this week is ALL urban! Hope you enjoyed it
Awesome photo’s Jeanette, especially the last one. The wire on the bus seemed 3D, like it was real and can be taken off.
This is one of my favourite parts of Joburg. Your photos are stunning!

Amazing! Very colourful! Love the first one too! Last one’s contrast is striking! Windows in the second last one reminds me of the windows at the Helen Joseph Hospital.

The red window and the detail of the door are awesome. And the only “people” photo you made is priceless. You’re such a gifted photographer!

It looks like it was loads of fun Jeanette and you’ve taken some awesome pics…wow I enjoyed looking at them!!! I can’t wait until September now when we go
I like the red wall one- very striking. Love the quality of light in the morning. Gives it a different look!

I am finding it hard to choose a favourite. As I was scrolling down I would think, “I like this one” and then see the next one and change my mind. Well done.
