What if I registered but can no longer attend?

Do I have to stay with the group?
You're welcome to shoot at your own pace and explore independently. We do ask that you stay in contact with the organizer and return to the designated meeting point when the walk wraps up.
What if a Photowalk is cancelled?
Cancellations are rare and only happen due to severe weather or safety concerns. The organizer decides the evening before and notifies registered participants by email. Check your email the morning of the walk. Cancellation details are also included in each calendar entry.

Bring your camera and any gear you typically shoot with. Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. Some walks cover longer distances or varied terrain, so check the calendar entry for location-specific details.
