Brisbane Community Urban Photo Walk

Join us for a relaxed urban photography walk through the heart of Brisbane, guided by a Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Craig Turnbull. We'll wander the city streets with a focus on capturing people in their environment and the textures, light, and energy of the urban landscape. Whether you're a seasoned street shooter or just starting out, this is a friendly, low-pressure way to sharpen your eye, meet fellow photographers, and explore the city through your lens. Photographers of all camera makes and models are welcome, bring whatever you love to shoot with.

In partnership with digiDirect Brisbane, three prizes are up for grabs for the best images from the walk: 1st Prize a 256GB Extreme Pro memory card, 2nd Prize a 128GB card, and 3rd Prize a 64GB card.

Meeting outside the store at 3:30PM with time to browse through digiDirect and meet the team, before heading out on the streets at 4:00PM.
