3 stitched together by my fair hands.......ok Lightroom... The Lake District, waiting for sunrise, that never really happened.....bit of a reoccurring theme when I scrape my backside out of bed at silly o'clock............ Still it was worth it to listen to the 'expert' telling his mate/student on the perfect composition.....for 30 bloody minutes......do us a favour mate, stand out of hearing distance next time, me and the cows were not interested!

Watendlath Tarn, England
Watendlath Tarn Morning Reflections
by Adelheid Smitt

Watendlath Tarn is a small lake that lies hidden between the larger Derwentwater and Thirlmere in the English Lake District. It is near the famous Ashness Bridge, where hundreds of tourists and photographers gather, but few continue up the narrow road to this place. On a beautiful Autumn day I had the place almost to myself. (Stitch of 2 horizontal images).

Spotlight
Blea Tarn
by Pete Rowbottom

Another new image and a quite unplanned one, we had decided to go up to the Lakes despite the weather forecast being less than ideal with some heavy rain rolling in, but the one thing heavy rain brings is great clouds, so the idea was to look for breaks in the weather and worst case scenario was drive around and just have a beer somewhere and some lunch...

It was only a last minute decision to drive via the Langdales, purely as I hadn't been for ages, Blea Tarn (this location) is absolutely shot to death, you can see why as it's beautiful but it really does need still water and some real drama to bring it to life, trying to avoid shooting this popular shot too much we call it 'going into Bleahab' :-) but, passing here the sky looked great at the back over the Langdales so we decided to stop, I was going to fly the drone and get some still / video.

Once at the shoreline the scene wasn't really that good with rippled water, and flat light, so I just composed a shot and left the camera there on the tripod literally just incase a break came while I was flying the drone.

A while afterwards and after I'd pretty much exhausted one drone battery, the Langdale Pikes to rear just started to light up against the black sky so it was back to the set up camera and sure enough a few moments later they were fully illuminated, if I wasn't already set up I'd definitely have missed it... the light then faded away and it was back to full gloom once again.

100% worth stopping after all, just the little moments you want to capture that happen so fleetingly against the far larger proportion of lacklustre showings.

Have a great weekend all.

Took a short trip down to the Lake District on Saturday, this is Blea Tarn, our first stop. We spent a lot of time here as there was shots to be had all over the place, such was the beauty of the place.

The rain passed over so I risked peeping out from the trees that we were sheltering under to get a shot of the clouds heading off down the valley.

As all visitors to the Lake District know, Blea Tarn is a magical, tranquil place to sit and enjoy the scenery in an almost total silence.

A perfect still early morning at Blea Tarn, the warm sunlight just filtering over the top of Lingmoor Fell and down onto the completely motionless Tarn, Side Pike can be seen illuminated directly ahead, with the Langdale Pikes behind.
