Pooley Bridge,

Morning sun hits the hill and the Duke of Portland boathouse on Ullswater Lake in the English Lake District. It is perhaps the most photographed building in the area and nowadays it is a vacation cottage you can rent.

Here's an image that I took today at 4pm after a huge bank of mist rolled in over Ullswater from the north. I was wrapping up my one day workshop to...

Is it just me or has Explore gone down the pan............? And I should have spent more time listening to Rocket from the Crypt.

Pre dawn at Ullswater, a bit a a break from the Icelandic images, ironically this was a heck of a lot colder than Iceland was!

Last week Myself, Geoff Moore, Mark Waidson, and Mike (Muddyboots) headed off to the Isle of Skye for a few days in what turned out to be a fantastic trip where the weather somehow played ball for us everyday.

On the way up we decided to stop off here for a sunrise shoot, it had been several years since I shot this location and I've never had conditions like this here, it had been down to minus 10 on the way up over Shap and this made for some great ice and frost around the lake giving some different foreground options.

This one was shot pre sunrise, we got some great light when the sun came up over the hills too but I really like the cold, still feeling to this image.

My website - updated with new images

Happy New Year Everyone! Another Shot of the Duke of Portland Boathouse from my last visit to the Lake District.

Ullswater

Dawn breaks at the North end of Ullswater over the boathouse situated near to Pooley Bridge, a lot shorter expsoure than the last shot at just 23 seconds, the light having increased considerably now, a lovely still morning unfolds over the misty Lake.
