My first photo walk

Went on my first photo walk today. Had no idea what to expect. There was only one or two people when I got to the gazebo at Chandler Park but more came later.

We headed out at 10 a.m. and I felt awkward at first but stopped caring after a minute. Not used to shooting 'things' so luckily, there was a farmers market going on so I got a bunch of portraits including this Tim Riner of Rushville, IL.-



I saw his tattoo and knew I should try to get a pic. This guy was really friendly and patient as I tried to get my exposure right with the manual flash. Hopefully getting a 550ex after I figure out my budget for the month.



The backgrounds weren't all that great. Just trying to get exposure down but next time, I gotta step it up.





You could see me holding my flash in her glasses.



Really hope I didn't blind that puppy.




Met some cool people, had a good time, definitely glad I went on the walk. I'll probably join the local camera club as long as they keep having meetings that is.
