Back to Cumbria – The Amazing Lake District Landscape<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve not done that much “landscape”\u00a0photography\u00a0for a few years, concentrating more on developing styles with flash, architecture and cars.<\/p>\n

However, with it being Autumn, I decided to invest a few days in the wonderful Lake district and recapture my love of the place. It’s certainly the highlight of England for my money, a mix of lakes and craggy mountains is hard to beat, even in the Dales.<\/p>\n

Last time I was in the lakes, I was fixed on a certain style – very wide angled lenses, low angles, dark skies, lots of colour and just about everything followed that formula. The top shot in this blog<\/a> is an example.<\/p>\n

This time I was armed with long lenses – a 70-200 and 500mm lens<\/a> – as well as the 17-40 ultra wide lens.<\/p>\n

This gives you a whole new view of the lakes – the 500mm brings things into close view, mountain tops appear only meters away when you use that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a shot with the 70-200 taken from Hardknott Pass – nice bit of rock detail brought out by the directional sunlight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Panoramic shot of Langdale<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Crumock Water<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ambleside at sunset<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Crags in Langdale<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wrynose Pass<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Duddon Valley<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bridge at between Wrynose and Hardknott passes<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Layers of hills viewed from Hardknott Pass<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Strange pool of light in Eskdale –<\/h2>\n

Isle of Man on the horizon too<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Small random stream<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hardknott Pass<\/h2>\n

500mm lens on this one!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pike O Stickle and Harrison Stickle with the 500mm lens, from miles away!<\/p>\n

So there’s a few from day 1 of the trip, I’ve not got to editing anything from day 2 just yet, but will blog<\/a> more.<\/p>\n
