A great morning out with Brad Eide and Terry Roberts for sunrise in the Lakes, this wasn't a planned location this morning but after the sun had risen and we had exhausted the previous spot we decided to give this a go as it would take the sun a while longer to rise over the Mountains so we should have still have some mist that hadn't been yet been burnt off.
When we got to the top here there was still mist but the light wasn't the best and what we had hoped for. However as usual if you just wait around sometimes things change up a gear and breifly we got light cascading down on Rydal Water through the mist that was now been burnt away. I'd already shot this scene with some nice light on it a short while before and though that was that so I had moved, but luckily I kept looking back and saw this happening so I up again quickly, reframed, and managed to capture it before it vanished.
A good mornings shoot, and all before breakfast, which vanished almost as quickly as this light did!

The remains of Hawcraig Pier, Aberdour, Fife. A bit of a thorn in my side this place, over a 4 day period tried 4 times to get the shot I wanted here but to no avail, everytime the tidal conditions were right it poured down, the second time I tried I actually waited it out in the rain with everything set up and the camera covered with a waterproof rucksack cover with the hope it would break... completely soaked it did eventually break and I went about trying to get what I wanted, about a minute in it just absolutely hammered down and I had to give up for the sake of the equipment,.
This shot wasn't the one I came for but I like it anyway as it's a different image I wouldn't have got normally, it was taken on the last opportunity to visit the place on the way home, the tide conditions were totally wrong but amazingly (for July) it wasn't raining (it did about 5 mins after this was taken), never known a place like it for crazy sea storms that just appear to roll in from nowhere.
Will definitely shoot this place again, hopefully in drier weather... The island of Inchcolm with its Abbey can be seen in the background.

I had a few hours to kill before a recent photo landscape shoot in the Lakes for Nphoto magazine (in some of the worst weather I've had up in the Lakes) and decided I wanted to get some of this beautful Autumnal colour recorded but in more intimate setting rather than bigger vistas.
It was raining again this morning and dull skies all around so I figured a nice bit of woodland should provide opportunities as well as a bit of respite from the wet stuff.
This was near to Esthwaite Water, an area I'd not shot for ages, the colours were still really good and the entire woodland floor covered with wet colourful leaves.
I settled on this after a good look around as it pretty much tells the story that I wanted it to. It seems Autumn has almost passed me by again this year in no time. Have a click on this one and have a good look around...
Once again, sincere apologies for contacts photos I've missed these last few weeks, Catching up when I can but it's been very hectic.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist this title.. I was thinking along similar lines but it really only had one title... after it was suggested to me by Mike (Muddyboots) - www.flickr.com/photos/muddybootsuk
A phenomenal morning on Ullswater, and I'd decided to go tight in with the long lens on to get this image showing the light over the lake and also the detailed layers of hills to rear of the image with the more in shadow nearer hills dropping into the lake..
As I was getting ready to shoot I was aware that the duck (OK so it's a Goose..) was swimming about and was potentially a massive distraction as it was in the wrong place and disturbing all the perfectly still water, it happens a lot, and there's not a thing you can do about it, I did hope though that it might, just might swim into the emerging light reflection in the lake, either it was attracted by the bright light (or I'd like to think it must have sensed my frustration) as it just turned around did exactly that! so instead of ruining my shot I really think it makes it and adds another element to this image. It only did it once as well for a split second ...
So the title was kind of mandatory, . .
Mike's done a Youtube video of the trip which actually includes this sunrise, which he was shooting further along the Lake - you can it see here, give it a watch it's really good. -

Waiting for the right moment, with the right person,and no tube trains at Baker Street, it's easier than it sounds... luckily this guy and his paper obliged inbetween trains. Right at the ISO limit of the Fuji X100S at ISO6400, more than happy with the results, with no noise reduction applied.
