In this afternoon workshop, Thomas will highlight specific areas of the downtown area and focus on specific photographic themes at each stop. Examples are photographing the colour and excitement of the Inner Harbour; taking advantage of taking photos at different levels at Library Square, and capturing the reflections in windows along Government St in Old Town. You will learn ways to create a thematic approach to photography as well as discover some fascinating locations in the downtown area. Meet at the school. Suitable for all levels. See supply list.

Flic Film’s Fusion 200 - A First Roll — Sidewalking Victoria
Flic Film may get more blog posts on Sidewalking Victoria’s Photography section than any other company and for good reason; outside of Harman Photo , they may be doing more to move film photography forward than anyone else. Flic Film is certainly at the top, when it comes to Canadian companies.
