  1. Today’s Photo She Worships The Moon. The Woman Of My Life pauses along the shore of Coniston Water to drink in the light of the moon… This photo was taken after the glorious colours of the sunset started to fade. My Lady paused in her investigation of the Coniston Water shore (she loves finding pieces of porcelain) to look up at the moon that was shining brightly. I quickly asked her to halt whilst I shot this perfect scene of serenity and peace. =) You should order a beautiful print of this photo right here. Today’s Photo She Worships The Moon.

  2. Today’s Photo The Old Man Smokes His Pipe. Smoky tendrils of cloud wrap around the shoulders of The Old Man of Coniston as a fiery sky casts dancing, glowing light on the lake… Welcome to Coniston Water! =) Me and Lisabet decided to head here one evening instead of seeing a comedy show… and I’m glad we did! We were treated to a spectacle of incredible sky colours, a calm lake and the clouds wrapping around the shoulders of The Old Man of Coniston. And yes, the 2,634ft mountain really is called that. It is suggested that the name comes Celtic Gaelic: allte meaning “height” and maen meaning “stones/rock”, giving us “The Highest Stones of Coniston. =) You should order a beautiful print of this photo right here.

  3. Today’s Photo Guarded By The Fell. The small river village, protected by the Fells of Howgill since days of old… This was shot from the motte of Castlehaw, the site of an ancient Norman motte-and-bailey castle, dating from around the 10thC. These days, it’s just a large hump protruding 30ft or so and surrounded by a ditch, but it does offer excellent views of the village of Sedbergh below as well as the little farmhouse shaded underneath the protective mound of Winder Fell. =) And yes, the greens really were that green.

  4. Today’s Photo Beck To Buttmere. Barren boulders and slabs of slate cannot stop the inexorable course of Gatesgarthdale Beck to its home of Buttermere… There’s something wonderfully rugged and wild about the landscape around Honister Pass, especially when the sky gives you fitting stormy clouds, too! =) You should order a beautiful print of this photo right here.

  5. Today’s Photo Boat Mountain. The Wastwater mountain juts defiantly from the ground as the storm swirls around it… In the most classic view of the three fells of Wastwater, Yewbarrow is the left one. It is well-known for looking like the upturned hull of a boat and for the prevalence of yew trees on it.  This photo is also the result of a long study I’ve been doing into Jay and Varina Patel’s iHDR workflow and, I have to say, I am extremely happy with the results. The clarity from this workflow is like no other. If you’re looking at ways to blend multiple exposures, you should definitely get yourself a copy of their iHDR webinars!

  6. Today’s Photo When Life Is Right. A perfect duality; the stillness of the eternal Ullswater reflections against the ancient craggy mountains… Sometimes, you have to choose your moments. Sometimes, these moments are when you’ve just got home from work and decide that the only right thing to do is to change clothes, pick up all your photography gear and head to the monumental lake of Ullswater to shoot some late evening reflection awesomeness. =) You should order a beautiful print of this photo right here.

  8. Today’s Photo Wrestle of Elements. A storm stampedes towards the Derwentwater fells, who stand resolute and braced for another battle… This was shot on the first evening of our Keswick break, right on the Northern shore of Derwentwater looking towards the distant fells.

  10. Today’s Photo Long Way To Crummock. Admittedly, our exploration of the more northern Lake District area, on this particular day, was quite ambitious: I had planned the exploration of Honister Pass, followed by a good walk around Buttermere, then Crummock Water and possibly Loweswater… then see if we’d timed the season right to capture the magnificent valley of Rannerdale with its legendary Bluebell carpet. However, we overestimated the walk from Buttermere to Crummock Water… and possibly took the least accessible route. The pathway was ill–defined with loose rocks and boulders that play havoc with your ankle strength and slow you down. We got as far as here, looking back at the west shore of Crummock Water with Fleetwith Pike in the distance and Mellbreak looming to the right. Fortunately, I had excellent cloud action in the sky and a landscape full of colours and light. =) Also, I’m experimenting with new and somewhat different post-processing techniques… and I’m liking the results I’m getting!
