In my ongoing attempts to capture something worthwhile from Tarn Hows and to realise my vision of the magnificent Oak tree in Autumn colours with the Sun bursting through the branches as I visualised on a family walk here over the summer. I headed to Tarn Hows with hope of some great conditions and interesting images.
One of the best things you can do to improve your Landscape Photography is to understand when and where the sun will be within the scene you wish to capture. The purpose of this visit was to catch the sun behind the Oak tree. I knew it would be a challenge to achieve that both in terms of the height of the sun but also the technicality of shooting into the Sun and make the image appealing. Earlier in this day I’d been totally blessed with an amazing sunrise over Windermere and some great Autumn scenes over the River Brathay, would my luck continue…
Looking over Tarn Hows, it’s certainly Autumn.
Once in position at the Oak Tree, it was pretty obvious my timing was wrong, I was too late to capture the light I visualised. Nonetheless I’m happy with this image. A little messier than how it looked in Summer. No worries, I shall try again.
Walking up to this slightly elevated position beside the Tarn I captured this panorama looking over the local area, Autumn is well and truly in full swing at Tarn Hows.
Zooming in on the Langdale Pikes form the same position as the Panorama above. Here’s the same location but the opposite end of the day.
