Hereford Photo Walk
On the 31st October 2015 I visited the beautiful city of Hereford for a day of photo walking. I’d been invited by Olympus UK who organised the event and we were hosted by the LCE camera store in Hereford.
Never having visited Hereford before I’d done my research and planned a route I thought would be photographically interesting and just the right distance to fill the two and a half hours I had for both the morning an afternoon walks.

I used Adobe Slate to create that web page and it’s a brilliant free tool for telling a photo story. It’s been around on the iPad for a few months but very recently it launched on the web which is how I made mine.
I loved the high quality, full frame images and the way the pages scroll together. It looks beautiful on a computer and even better on a tablet or phone. I’m pretty sure I’ll be using it again soon.
The photo walk was a free event organised by Olympus UK but anyone with any make of camera was welcome. I saw Canon, Nikon, Fuji and Pentax cameras being used by the walkers as well lots of Olympus bodies and lenses, many of which were on loan from Olympus for the walk.
You can found out about upcoming events on the Olympus Imaging Space and if you’d like me to do a photo walk near you, don’t tell me, tell Olympus 😉
Hi Gavin.
The page looks great! As do the pictures
(As usual).
Do you plan on visiting the lake district anytime soon? Would be great to come along.
Thanks Stuart. No plans to be in that part of the UK but as I said in the post… if you’d like me to do a photo walk near you, don’t tell me, tell Olympus 🙂
Slate seems to be a great tool, no doubt. Your pictures and editing work is amazing!
I’ll tell Olympus to make a photo walk here in Las Vegas ; )
Hi Gavin
loved seeing this and it’s made me give Slate a try but I cant recreate some of the effects with the available options/themes. In particular there is a small inset window of text and a man with shopping trolley that goes over a mono shot of the cathedral. I cant see how to superimpose an inset window over a main screen image in any of the themes. Can you enlighten me on how it’s done?
it still amazes me, after all these years, how much Hereford looks like Shrewsbury great photo’s.
What a lovely souvenir of the day you have made .. and I couldn’t be more pleased to be your “cover girl ” 😉 Thanks
