Ok ok, I know what you're thinking...Yes it's been done before, done to death etc etc. I've even got 2 different Panoramic versions of this scene printed huge in my house, so why would I want to shoot it again? quite simply because in the right light it's absolutely stunning and I love it. I might even go for the 'hat-trick' and get this printed to put with the other 2.
So that's that out the way :-) This one was at the end of a rather long morning on the shore here (around 3 hours) with Terry Roberts. We saw people (photographers) come, and go and apart from the earlier 'mist festival' that kicked off this was undoubtably some of the best light of the entire morning, and there was only us here for it.
I couldn't resist a pano of this scene with the light streaming down the side of Fleetwith Pike lighting up the Autumn colours with the Lake lovely and calm, still a little mist hanging around too to finish the scene off. To be able to spend 3 hours in one spot it has to be pretty special, and to me this is one of my favourite spots in the UK, I don't go often, but when I do I always enjoy it just as much.
