Throwback time! One month ago today on September 6, 2014, 500px held its second Annual Global Photo Walk. Over 7,000 passionate photography lovers in 137 cities across the world embarked on an exciting photographic exploration of their hometowns, and the results were absolutely incredible. New and experienced photographers alike braved all kinds of weather conditions—from pouring rains to 40-degree Celsius heat in Dubai to sub-zero temperatures in Antarctica—to capture some amazing images of their cities.
With this year’s Photo Walk theme being “Patterns & Symbols”, we were blown away with the enthusiasm and creativity of the photographers who tackled the theme. Over 3,500 photos from September 6th were posted on 500px Global Photo Walk Groups, where discussions, comments, critiques and tips continue to be shared. You can find a link to each participating city’s Photo Walk Group at the bottom of this post. Take some time to browse through them—you won’t be disappointed!
500px would like to extend our thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s Global Photo Walk! We truly hope that you had a wonderful time, learned something new, made some new friends, and that you’ll join us again for our 2015 Globl Photo Walk—date to be announced soon. A special thank you goes out to our incredible Photo Walk hosts, who went above and beyond our expectations to create exciting and engaging walking routes in their hometowns, and who were the true facilitators of this amazing gathering of old and new friends.
Here is a selection of some of the amazing photos taken during Global Photo Walk around the world—from Delhi to Antarctica. Enjoy!
