Walk Route, Meeting Place, and Some MoreOctober 4th, 2024
A few more things before tomorrow’s Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk at the Tarlac City Downtown:
1. PREPARE. Charge your batteries. Clean your sensors and lenses. Have a good night’s sleep. Be sure to set your alarms! Be there by 6:00am. Have a good breakfast, or even immerse in local food during the walk! (Bringing diatabs is a plus!)
2. START AND END. I have corrected the Start and End Points of our Photowalk. We begin at 6:00am at the Tarlac Provincial Capitol, walk and shoot around F. Tañedo Street (see item 2 for full details), and we convene at the Burger McQueen Restaurant beside Tarlac Plazuela.
a. Stay within the designated photowalk route to ensure your safety and for the eligibility of your photo submissions to the competition.
b. The Management of Burger McQueen has been kind enough to let us set up base and use their dining area as a place of rest and interaction. I highly encourage you guys to grab a meal there after the walk is done. Consider getting the nostalgic Chicken Diablo or their hearty burgers at great value!
3. ROUTE. Below is the detailed description of the photowalk route and boundaries:
a. We’ll only be shooting at the Tarlac City Downton Area; F. Tañedo St. and the roads perpendicular to it (e.g. Juan Luna, Ancheta)
b. Romulo Boulevard from Tarlac Provincial Capitol to McDonald’s TSU
c. Next, branching out to rectangle composed of:
i. a small portion of Zamora St. (from Mcdo TSU to Citywalk),
ii. the roads of Aquino Blvd in the west,
iii. MH Del Pilar in the east,
iv. and up until Osias Colleges
d. See the visualized route through this link: https://imgur.com/a/kW2YiaI
I guess that’s about it for now. May your memory cards never fill up, your batteries never die, and your photos always be in perfect focus (except for those ‘artistic’ shots, of course).
Snap you later!
