Muscat shutterbugs take part in Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk

MUSCAT: Scott Kelby’s 8th Annual Worldwide Photo Walk, the world’s largest photo walk was organised by Friday Shoot Out (FSO) Muscat group here recently.

The Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk, dubbed as the world’s largest global and social photography event, has grown immensely in size and popularity since the inaugural walk in 2007. This year, more than 20,000 photographers from all walks of life and skill level converged to explore their corners of the world through photography and social community, says a press release.

Photo Walk event in Muscat was created by FSO Muscat Group. Walkers met up at Portuguese Watch tower opposite to Riyam Park to stroll and shoot along the Muttrah corniche. Walkers spent a few hours socialising, capturing images and sharing views and ideas with likeminded people. At the end of the photo walk, the walkers gathered at Kalbuh Park for refreshments and group photo. The event was locally sponsored by SKT Oman.

In addition to the event, photo walkers will be able to upload their favourite picture to Kelby’s popular Photo Walk contest for a chance to win a digital copy of the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby.

A grand prize winner among the 10 finalists will be selected by the great Scott Kelby himself!

This year, Kelby encouraged every photo walker to help support this year’s initiative to ‘Walk with a Purpose’ by donating $1 to the Springs of Hope Orphanage in Kenya.
