<\/a><\/p>\nI’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 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 Isle of Man on the horizon too<\/p>\n 500mm lens on this one!<\/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 <\/p>\n<\/a><\/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>\nBridge at between Wrynose and Hardknott passes<\/h2>\n
