Castlerigg Stone Circle is a popular location for Tourists and Photographers alike, there is something about the challenge of capturing this location that must appeal to Landscape Photographers. Maybe an exercise in composition or maybe the challenge of having the right conditions and space to make images. On this particular evening I stopped by Castlerigg Stone Circle for the last hour of the day.
Here’s how things turned out. I also made this short video to accompany the photographs.
Heading into Keswick and the conditions look promising.
Setup by Castlerigg Stone Circle, there are lots of other people taking photos here tonight.
