#400 PHOTOWALK: FIND YOUR HEART AND SOUL IN SCOTLAND, THE RETREAT
This week, you're invited to join our Extra Milers in beautiful, majestic, enchanting Scotland. Join us on this year's Photowalk Retreat in the Highlands. We walk the cairns, the battlefields, the moors, the lochs and mountains, learn how to shoot film, battle the squalls, immerse ourselves in history and discover the joys of going off-grid and making new friends.
Email your stories, thoughts, and pictures to the show. If you can optimize/resize photos to 2,500 pixels wide, that’s always much appreciated. If you’d like to support this show and have access to further content and the midweek Extra Mile show, we’d welcome you as an EXTRA MILER. There’s also our thriving Facebook group, a safe place to meet and talk with photographers of all interests, plus the show is featured on Instagram, VERO and Twitter.
As well as our Extra Milers, we’re also supported by our incredible friends at MPB.com who have believed in this show from the get-go; the number one platform in the UK, US and Europe (with bases in Brighton, Brooklyn and Berlin) when it comes to buying, trading or selling quality used kit online. They help us as photographers to tell our unique stories by providing a safe place to buy, trade and sell the kit we need and in doing so, we become a part of the sustainable circular economy. With guarantees upon kit purchased, buy used, spend less and get more at MPB.com.
