A quick early evening visit to Kelly Hall Tarn at Torver this evening. I should have stayed longer and given the light a chance.

Kelly Hall Tarn Shoot

James — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:55:29 +0000

Another visit to Kelly Hall Tarn, this time not for sunset. A bit of a dull looking day but what can you expect for August. Worth a look around if only to learn more about the place for future shoots.

I’ve yet to time the flowing of these Lilly’s

A super wide view.

It was very windy, as you maybe able to see in the movement of the tree in the foreground.

Thanks for looking.

Kelly Hall Tarn Summer Evening Shoot

James — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 16:45:12 +0000

Despite the obvious composition over the Tarn to the lone Tree, I find Kelly Hall Tarn quite an interesting location for Landscape Photography. I went along with Colin Bel,l a friend of mine and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Here’s what I managed to capture before my body gave up and Colin had to carry me home. Literally.

A beautiful Summer’s evening…

A shot inspired by Colin, who was in turn inspired by someone else…

Pond Life.

Waiting for the light.

Here are some iPhone Photographs made during the Shoot and a video showing the excitement of a 6’6″ tall man being stuck in the mud. Part of me had hoped for a You’ve Been Framed moment. I do admire Colin’s determination and commitment to get the shots he wants.

This could be an expensive photograph. I don’t think Nikons are waterproof.

Great Light (iPhone Photograph) as the drama unfolds.

Hang on a minute…

To the rescue…

Missing something Colin……

A spot of fishing too…

Any luck….?

The relief… Now hopefully nobody will ever find out about this….

Let’s keep this between us Colin…

I love the freedom of small cameras. (iPhone Photograph)

A really enjoyable evening and it was really nice to share it with Colin.

Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think of these images or if you’d like a print in the comments below. You can see more (less eventful) visits to this location below.

Kelly Hall Tarn with my Kids…

My first visit to Kelly Hall Tarn with the Kids during the day this time.

…Inevitable (iPhone Photograph)

I liked the foreground of this scene, with a long exposure you can see the movement in the water.

A wider view.

On the hillside above the Tarn is another small Tree.

Looking for some unique composition at Kelly Hall Tarn I settled on One tree framing the other.

It was quite windy, the longer exposure shows the movement in the trees.

Being watched. An iPhone Photograph processed with various Apps.

It’s a great little spot Kelly Hall Tarn, not too much to work with which is great as it makes you think hard about what there is rather than pointing and shooting at a view.
