There are times when photography is all about overcoming obstacles.
And that’s what 37 photographers had to do during Greenville’s version of the 2010 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk this past Saturday.
Kelby, who is president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and editor-in-chief of Photoshop User magazine, organized the first walk three years ago as a social event where photographers would gather, walk an interesting part of their city and take photographs together.
This year, 1,111 walks were held throughout the world. Nearly 35,000 photographers participated.
The Greenville walk was held from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.
Harsh light and even harsher temperatures – the high that day hit 99 degrees – made it a tough two hours.
But if you’re going to be soaked in sweat, you might as well get some good images while you’re at it, right?
I tried to put the harsh light to work for me, concentrating on the shadows it produced.
I looked for images in the open shadows.
And, as often as I could, I sought the solace of the shade.
