Starting at the iconic red phone boxes on Norfolk Square, we will wander through Glossop's characterful streets and spaces, discovering the textures, details, and stories that make this High Peak town so photographically compelling. Along the way you will be guided in how to see and compose images as you walk learning simple techniques for capturing architecture, light and the character of place, whatever your level of experience and whatever camera you are using. This is a walk for everyone whether you are a seasoned photographer or picking up a camera for the very first time. The pace is gentle, the atmosphere is friendly, and the conversation is as important as the photography. We will walk whatever the weather so please dress appropriately for the conditions. The walk concludes at a local lunch venue to be confirmed where participants are welcome to stay on for a late lunch and drinks, or simply drinks, at their own cost. 10 days before the walk participants will be asked whether they plan to join for food and drinks or drinks only, so we can make the appropriate arrangements.
