New Year Urban Wander

Kick off the new year with a relaxed evening photo walk through one of Auckland’s most iconic streets. Ponsonby Road comes alive at dusk, full of colour, movement, music, and light making it the perfect place to reignite your creativity and capture the energy of summer in the city.

We’ll explore the street together, from vintage shopfronts to lively bars and glowing neon signs, capturing the unique rhythm of urban life. As always, you’ll find a friendly, supportive group of photographers, from first-timers to seasoned pros.

• Neon lights, illuminated shopfronts, and street scenes at twilight
• Classic Ponsonby architecture mixed with modern city energy
• People, nightlife, and the pulse of the evening crowd
• Light trails, reflections, and bold compositions
• The mood and movement of summer evenings in Auckland

• Your camera or smartphone
• A tripod (handy for long exposures, but not essential)
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Curiosity and an open mind — this is all about exploring and having fun!

Free to join. Open to everyone.

• Let’s wander, shoot, and celebrate one of Auckland’s most photogenic neighbourhoods together.
• We’ll wrap up around 9:00PM, and for those keen to keep chatting, grab a drink or dessert nearby to share shots and ideas.
