Sunset, Keswick Landings, Lake District, Derwent Water, Cumbria, England

Hang gliding off the Catsbells, Keswick, Derwent Water, Lake District, Cumbria, England - I set off in the dark to climb this mountain, arrived at the summit about 30 minutes before sunrise. When I looked back I noticed a few of guys just about to take off, perfect timing! :)

First Light, Cat Bells, Cumbria, England - This mountain or fell was a fairly easy walk up, even in the dark, taking me less than an hour. I took this photograph shortly after sunrise from near the summit looking north towards the beautiful town of Keswick and the Skiddaw mountain range. The lake on the right is Derwent Water, my favourite in the Lake District and used as the film location backdrop in Star Wars The Force Awakens where the X-wings skimmed along the water. On the left in the distance is Bassenthwaite Lake near Braithwaite. If you continue south along the ridge of the Cat Bells, you will arrive at Dale Head, which offers some fantastic views over Buttermere and beyond.

Canoeing, Derwent Water, Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, England - The lake, at 3 miles long, 1 mile wide and 72 feet deep, is about a ten-minute walk from the centre of town, past the Theatre by the Lake. You can walk the eight miles around the lake, or take a lake cruise from the landing stages here on Keswick Launch. There are four islands on the Lake, Lord's Island (once the home of the Earl of Derwentwater), Derwent Island, St Herbert's Island (named after the hermit who lived there in the 7th Century), and Rampsholme Island.

Keswick Landings, Derwent Water, Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, England - I shot this at night under moonlight, I used a cable release and bulb mode, keeping the shutter open for 350 seconds. I used a lantern and walked up and down to illuminate the fronts of the canoes. Interesting fact, this lake was used in a scene from the new Star Wars film The Force Awakens, where the X-wings fly across the water.

Duke of Portland Boathouse, Under Moonlight, Ullswater, Lake District, Cumbria, England

Dramatic Sunset, Buttermere, Lake District, Cumbria, England - Buttermere is perhaps the most beautiful of all the areas in the Lake District. From the south of the lake at Gatesgarth there is a mountain walk which takes you up to Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike. Along the path, very near where I took this photograph, you will pass Warnscale Bothy, a bad weather retreat/hut for climbers; it is a favourite subject for photographers, especially good for astrophotography if you ever get the chance.

Lantern, Ashness Jetty, Derwent Water, Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, England - Probably one of the most photographed locations in the Lakes. I took this about 2 hours after sunset, interestingly you can see the headlamp of a hiker climbing the mountain in the distance! Whenever I do landscape photography I take a bag of small candles with my lantern, I find it so useful as a point of interest or adding a soft light to a specific subject. I find the light from a torch is too harsh.

Early Morning over Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, England - I took this about an hour before sunrise at Underskiddaw, the smaller hill just north of the town. Being up on hills or mountains is great for amassing lots of photographs. I'm forever switching lenses, for tight zoomed in shots and wide-angle shots, then panoramas. I think this morning I captured 15 portfolio-quality shots, three times what I tend to average. In most cases I'm happy if I get two good shots each end of the day, I don't take many shots and very little in the day.

Autumn, Mist, Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, England

Sunrise Sheep, Keswick, Lake District, Cumbria, England - I photographed these three sheep playing with a leaf at Underskiddaw. It was a gorgeous morning with plenty of mist rolling over Derwent Water and the town. This was one of my last shots that morning, I rarely do nature photography, and I got fortunate that the backlighting was so nice. It ended up being one of my most successful landscape shoots I've ever done!

I think this morning I captured 15 portfolio-quality shots including a nice backlit shot of sheep! I tend to average about 5 shots each time I go out for either sunrise or sunset. Under the mist is Derwent Water, one of the prettiest lakes in the UK.
