Earlier this evening, at a camera club meeting, I talked to one of the
people on that Sanford photo walk. He said there were 12 or so people
signed up who came, and a couple of people who just joined in.
Several had compact cameras.

He was rather disappointed. The group never left the meeting area.
The group met at a small park about 20 yards wide by 100 yards deep
that juts out into Lake Monroe. They took some sunset pictures over
the lake, and a few of the nearby marina. Several of the group were
experimenting with "painting with light" using glow sticks and small
flashlights.

He left and did a solo walk down to the larger area where the
Bikerfest was going on. He said he'd never go to another late
afternoon/early evening Photo Walk again unless it was specifically
about low light photography.

Sounds like I didn't miss anything.

Sounds like that.

From what I gather of other photowalks, including mine and elsewhere,
the "walk leaders" were more oriented to "getting the feet out and under
the glass" and then encouraging people to explore the area.

I only saw our organizer at the start and crossed her path once near the
end. I didn't attend the beer/lunch as I had other errands to do.
