Perth Frontrunners – Pride Run & Walk

Call out for Shutterpups members to photograph the event

Shutterpups is proud to be again invited to photograph the Perth Frontrunners Pride Run & Walk. This annual event provides an opportunity for you to practice sports photography (runners, joggers, walkers) against the beautiful backdrops of the Elizabeth Quay and the Swan River. After the run there’s a festival, which is a great chance for some street photography. Everyone is super friendly and happy to be photographed – especially the fur babies.

All we ask is that you share, via Shutterpups, your best photos from the event.

Please register your interest by emailing shutterpups@outlook.com. Closer to the event we will provide a route map and assign photography “stations” at Elizabeth Quay & along the route.
What to bring:
– Your camera or phone-camera (of course)
– SD cards and batteries (charged)
– A long zoom, standard-zoom lens should be sufficient
– A tripod or monopod may be handy
– Comfortable shoes and sun protection.

Event updates will be provided through Facebook Messenger and, upon request, updates can be emailed. This event is free for financial members and Facebook members.
If you’re feeling sporty (or just want to strut in the sunshine) you could also register free form the Perth Frontrunners Pride Run & Walk.

Shutterpups stages monthly themed shoots around the Perth metro and outer metro regions. At least once a year we also plan a (long) weekend event further afield. The main aims of our events is to grow your skills by socialising and interact with other photographers. No matter your experience or gear, there is always something new to learn. There are many different types of events, so there is sure to be one that suits your interest: fast-paced sports; gentle landscapes; macros; or seeing the world in monochrome – we try to make the events as varied as possible.

• Being mentally healthy is when each of us are able to realise our own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and are able to contribute to our community.
• Being mentally healthy is essential for overall wellbeing. Good mental health is more than just the absence of mental illness. It’s about being able to deal with life’s challenges, maintain relationships, contribute to the community, and take pleasure and satisfaction from life.
• Prioritise your mental health today. The good news is there are lots of things we can all do to promote good mental health and take control of our mental wellbeing.
• Engaging in activities that keep us mentally healthy, is the most effective way to improve individual and community mental health and wellbeing.
