What's a Photo Walk?

This group event will take you on an exploration of a nature trail in the City of Peterborough to explore, experience and capture photos under the guidance of  photographer and naturalist, Keith Manser. Learn new photography skills to enhance your nature experiences through your viewfinder. This photo walk will be a casual, hands-on format where participants can ask questions as they explore and experience nature, and hopefully some wildlife (if the wildlife participates!).

This SPARK Photo Festival Event is free to attend.

Keith Manser immigrated to Canada in 1968. From the moment of his arrival, he has had a love affair with Canadian landscapes, nature and wilderness. Being a Fish and Wildlife Technician, an avid outdoorsman and a photographer, provides Keith with the tools and insights to find his wildlife and landscape subjects. To quote Keith, “Sitting in a blind, listening to the sounds of nature and watching for that magical moment when I can capture an intimate image, is my heaven”.
