  1. 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.

  2. Today’s Photo Wilderness Mine. Gatesgarthdale Beck that flows from the 1,167ft summit of Honister Pass down towards Buttermere. Recent rain made this normally timid beck rather more active and you’ll see these giant boulders and chunks of slate all down the beck, filtering the water; it was remarkably clear… made me want to take a sip out of it. In the distance you can make out the winding single–track road that leads up to the summit Honister Pass where the Slate Mine is. Such a ridiculously epic scene, especially when stormy clouds like these visited us! =) You should order a beautiful print of this photo right here. Today’s Photo Wilderness Mine.

  3. Today’s Photo Brook at the Summit. Kirkstone Pass is just one of those places that I can see me and Lisabet returning to time after time again… there’s just so many ridiculous compositions and epic scenes and views to shoot! A lot of the snow from the Great Second Winter of March 2013 has melted nowadays, but there’s still a lot stubbornly clinging on for life around the summit of Kirkstone Pass, making leading lines in this little brook as it glows in the light of the setting sun towards the mountains of the pass. =) Today’s Photo Brook at the Summit.

  4. Today’s Photo What Goes Up… …must come down. =) One of the many little brooks that trickled gently down from the tall fells of the Swaledale valley when I was exploring Keld with Lisabet. Perhaps it eventually joins its brothers and sisters into an impressive fall that feeds the River Swale right at the bottom… Taken some tips from Trey Ratcliff onboard regarding sharpness and colour. Hopefully I got it right this time. =) Today’s Photo What Goes Up… …must come down. =) One of the many little brooks that trickled gently down from the tall fells of the Swaledale valley when I was exploring Keld with Lisabet.

  5. Today’s Photo Joy of Discovery. Hello! I am now all moved into the Lakes with my Lovely Lady Lisabet =) To celebrate, apart from making some kick-ass chilli, here’s a photo: this is shot from around the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Lancashire. This brook streaming down from the fells was a wonderful little find after the disappointment of not being able to shoot Grizedale Lea with Bamber =) Enjoy your day/evening!

  6. Today’s Photo No Plan Is The Best Plan. So on Saturday, to commemorate the return of my friend Bamber back to the UK’s grey and rainy shores, we had a little afternoon journey. Initially, the plan was to head to Grizedale Lea and Banacre Reservoir, to get some delicious lake/reflections/mountains in the distance goodness. Turns out those reservoirs are strictly private land. So we moved on, following the road through the immense Forest of Bowland area of outstanding natural beauty, stopping the car every now and then to shoot whatever looked awesome (this isn’t hard). We found this little stream tumbling down from the peaks of the fell that went underneath a bridge we had crossed. The land was fairly treacherous round here, but there was this handy little stone platform, right near the stream. I immediately set up shop with my tripod and fired of a few brackets with different comps. This was my favourite. I hope you like it. =) Today’s Photo No Plan Is The Best Plan.

  7. Today’s Photo Fly You Fools! The tiny bridge that crosses the stream upon first entering Over Hacking Wood, 50% of the way through the Tolkien Trail. At this point, Fie and Bamber had wandered off downstream to skip across the rocks in the stream. =] This is not a full HDR photo; this shot is mostly the -1EV exposure, but I’ve masked in some of the “base” HDR image created back into the bridge textures and some of the rocks. HDR really loves wood and rock textures. =] Click here for the full-size image. Today’s Photo Fly You Fools!

  8. Today’s Photo Life Stream. After the leaving the Stonyhurst College grounds on the Tolkien Trail, we eventually entered our first forest, representing halfway through the hike. This is the stream you cross upon first entering Over Hacking Wood. Whilst I was busy setting up a shot of the bridge, the rest of the guys played around this lovely bubbling stream here. After passing through the ancient college grounds and hiking through fields, suddenly entering a forest like this made the experience more magical. As is the case with my forest shots these days, this is a single exposure, the -1EV one, but I’ve blended some HDR here and there; mainly for textures in the ground and rocks in the stream.
