Color Hunt YYC

About this event

Get ready to chase down colours and have a blast hunting hues around the city! Color Hunt YYC Pick a colour. Hunt it through the city. Come home with photos you're proud of. Presented by 11th Casa × Salingpusa One colour. One hour. A whole city hiding it in plain sight. Choose a colour, any colour, and let it pull you through Calgary's streets, doorways, alleys, and storefronts. Color Hunt YYC is part photo walk, part scavenger hunt, part "wait, how do I actually make this look good?" Whether you're shooting on your phone, a DSLR, or a mirrorless, you'll spend an hour sharpening your eye, getting comfortable with your camera, and chasing the one shade you can't stop seeing once you've started looking. No experience needed, just curiosity and a charged battery. How the hunt works • Pick your colour when you arrive: red, teal, that impossible-to-find violet. • We walk together through a Calgary neighbourhood for about an hour, cameras out and eyes wide. • Chase your colour everywhere it hides: a red door, an orange bicycle, a patch of violet graffiti, a stranger's electric-blue jacket. • We regroup to share our best frames at the end, and there's a friendly title on the line for the boldest shot of the day. 😏 • The best shots get exhibited in the window of Salingpusa Studio for the whole neighbourhood to see. Bragging rights and a spot in the window, no pressure, all fun. What you'll walk away with • A sharper eye for colour, light, and composition; it's a skill, and it's learnable • Real comfort with your camera or phone settings: exposure, focus, framing, all on the go • A handful of shots you'll actually want to post • A few new photographer friends in the city Who it's for • Phone photographers ready to level up their eye • DSLR and mirrorless owners who've never fully cracked their manual settings • Anyone who just wants to shoot more and talk photography with people who get it • Creatives looking to meet other creatives in Calgary All skill levels welcome | total beginners and seasoned shooters alike. What to bring • Your camera, phone, DSLR, or mirrorless, all equally welcome • A fully charged battery / enough data • Comfortable walking shoes • Your curiosity After the walk Share your finds on VSCO, Instagram, or wherever you post; tag #ColorHuntYYC so we can see what you caught or keep them all to yourself- totally up to you. The route is weather-dependent, so dress for the day.
