Snap a Selfie on World Photo Day
World Photo Day is annual worldwide celebration on August 19th and it’s a great reason to share some of your favourite photos on social media. The kind of photography we know today dates back to 1839 but it has certainly come a long way! With the explosion of digital photography, many people no longer use film in their cameras. In fact, most people capture their moments by smartphone wherever they may be!
We’ve made it easy for you to participate in World Photography Day by listing the 10 spots across Windsor Essex nominated for the Best Photo Opp spot in the Best of Windsor Essex Awards! So grab your phone or camera, your people or pets and head out to snap a shot and create a memory!
The Windsor waterfront was voted Best Photo Opp in 2021 and for good reason! With a view of Detroit, the Sculpture Garden, and Waterfront Trail- the options here for that perfect pic are endless.
