Photo Walks

Once a month, on a Saturday, we visit local places of interest with our cameras, walking around and taking photographs. These walks are a great opportunity to experiment with different styles, share knowledge, ask questions and get inspiration from other photographers. All are welcome. The venues include local scenic spots as well as interesting parts of the City and West London. For our next outing's itinerary, click here.
Or contact us here. Or ask at one of out club meetings.

10th March 2018

Our first walk of the year will take us from Tower Hill station, across Tower Bridge and through varied back streets to Borough Market, one of the oldest and biggest food markets in London.
Meet outside Ealing Broadway station at 10.00 am.

5th May 2018

Richmond Park and the Isabella Plantation has plenty of open vistas together with rhododendrons and azaleas in bloom. There are also ponds, ducks and deer. Meet at NCC at 13.30. Full details here.

29th May 2018

Brentford and Boston Manor Park offer us a delightful evening stroll through Boston Manor Park down to Johnsons Island on the River Brent. There is lots to see and photograph: a variety of architecture, street scenes, canal and river views as well as interesting and little known corners of Brentford.

We’ll be meeting at 7:30pm at the entrance to Boston Manor Park to make the most of the evening light. Boston Manor Park is a short walk south from Boston Manor Station on the Piccadily line (one stop down from Northfields) and if you would like to come down later and join us further down the route then please do.

We’ll be finishing up at the Brewery Tap for a drink or two which is a delightful local pub close to the river; it’s at the bottom of Catherine Wheel Road in Brentford and from there it is three minutes up to Brentford High Street from where we can catch a 65 back to Ealing or an E2 to Northfields, West Ealing and Hanwell.

It is about a forty minute walk at a brisk pace but obviously we will be taking it somewhat more slowly and taking plenty of photographs. You may of course go straight down to the Brewery Tap and meet us there if you prefer! We should be there around 9 to 9:30.

7th April 2018

Perivale Wood is a local ancient woodland where we hope to see the lots of bluebells and meadows.

9th June 2018

Canary Wharf has a compelling and vibrant architecture complemented by street scenes, water-ways, people, plants in an urban setting and many, many views of the city life-style.
We plan to leave Northfields Tube at 10am, traveling to Canary Wharf tube station via Green Park. On arrival at Canary Wharf tube (11am) we will spend 15 mins shooting inside the station. When we surface you will be free to wander and shoot whatever you like. If you have access to a fairly wide angle lens, do bring it along (plus spare batteries for your camera and comfortable walking shoes for you!).

There will be plenty of options for food/drink/lunch.

We will probably finish up around 3pm and travel back to Ealing on the tube although you may leave at any time. Meet at Northfields Tube Station at 10 o'clock.

September 8th 2018

Meet at 11 am at The Express Tavern , 56 Kew Bridge Road, Brentford, TW8 0EW.
The intention is to capture some of the carnival atmosphere that goes along with The Great British River Race.
The first boats are due at Kew Bridge at about 12.10 pm so after convening in The Express Tavern we will walk over Kew Bridge to be in place on the bridge for the arrival of the first boats. After that it will be a matter of moving between the Bridge and the riverside path to get the best shots over the next couple of hours.
Standard and telephoto lenses are probably more appropriate than wide angle lenses.

3rd November 2018

Join us on a Barbican Centre Photography walk. We’ll meet at Northfields tube station at 10 am and take the tube via kings cross to the Barbican. If you prefer to make your own way we will meet at Barbican tube at 10:50am. We’ll shoot around the Barbican centre for a few hours stopping for refreshments at the centres cafe around lunchtime and continue on in the afternoon or perhaps venture around to Smithfield Market. There’s plenty to shoot and don’t be put off if the weather is wet as there are covered walkways.

We'll be off to the Regent Street Motor Show. Regent Street in central London will be closed to normal traffic and filled with cars, motor bikes and their owners, all from the very old to the very new. There'll be plenty of people dressed up in vintage costume so lots of opportunities for portraits and street photography amid the excitement of the day.
