Photo Walk with Trey Ratcliff
On Friday I tagged along for a photo walk that Trey Ratcliff, famed HDR and travel photographer, was leading though central London before his weekend workshop. I thought it would be a good opportunity to take some photos and meet some photographers.
There ended up being about 50 people hanging around The National Theatre when I got there around 6, I had no idea the amount of people Trey could pull from his blog post and a few twitter messages. Trey obviously is a very successful and has build a brand on teaching HDR as well as loads of general photography and gear tips. Everyone I talked to found out about the walk through either his blog, facebook or twitter; a few guys walked up only having found out about it on the way home from work checking twitter and then joined in with their camera phones. Trey really showed me the power of the social media for a small business.
It was a great experience and I would encourage you to join in on a walk if you have the chance. Despite my normal aversion to HDR I did actually take some bracketed exposures and am quite happy with the results. It is always great to try new things, thanks Trey for the impetus to get out shooting this weekend.
