About This Walk
About the walk. This is a little different than most walks as the walk route is actually an area that will include the Ventura promenade from Surfers Point up to and including the Ventura Pier. It also includes the Ventura Downtown area. All within walking distance of the start and end of the walk.
We’re going to start on the Promenade at the Pier. However, you can start anywhere you like on the official walk area. We do this because there’s a lot to photograph on this walk and that beautiful morning light can be fleeting. Wildlife at surfers point, surfers, walkers, fisherman, seascapes, long exposure at the pier as well as the sunrise are just some of the creative fodder we’ll get to experience and photograph. The downtown area offers opportunities for street photography, still life and lifestyle images. A lot to experience and photograph.
The end of the walk will be on the pier for our group picture. A tradition we’ve been able to develop over the years. Then a short hop over to Beach House Tacos for some food and a meet and greet. In my opinion, the best part of the walk.
I get asked all the time about what skill level is required for the walk. And I always say the same thing. Whatever you shoot with, phone, point and shoot, DSLR’s and all other variations are welcome. Including no restrictions on age limit. All ages are welcome but under 18 must be chaperoned. There will be plenty of skilled photographers on the walk that will be more than willing to help out. Just ask.
I think that’s it. Please come and join us, lots of great people, some that have become close friends over the years because of the walk.

Final Update, one week to go!September 28th, 2024
Hi Everyone,
With one week to go before the walk I thought I’d provide some final details you may be interested in.
Your leader, that’s me, will be at the pier to start things off. Looks like a few of us will be doing a sunrise timelapse. All are welcome to join in. If you do, bring your intervalometer or use your camera if it has that functionality. Tripod as well. Bring your ND filters as well. Those velvety wave picks around the pier are wall hangers.
About the walk, you can start wherever you like. You must end on the pier just over the shore break for the group picture and wave pans at 9AM. Then off to Beach House Tacos for some eats and conversation.
Weather is looking good. Partly cloudy in the AM with temps in the mid 70’s. Tide will be mid-low climbing to high tide at around noon. Sunrise is 6:49
Parking is available at the parking structure by the pier on the south side of Harbor Boulevard at California Street near the Ventura Pier. Beach level if you can. $4 for the first couple of hours $10 max. Lock and secure your valuables.
Look forward to meeting everyone, lets have fun 🙂
Any question email me through the Kelby walk portal.

Hi All,
What time is the walk on Oct 5th? I see 6:30am – 9:00pm. Is this correct?
Thank you
I am here to ask the same question I signed up for the walk but want to check on the time.
I believe he meant 9:00 Am. Usually photo walks only last a couple of hours.
Is this still happening?
