Latrigg Landscape Photography at Sunset

James — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 14:08:48 +0000

I had good intentions this evening but unfortunately as is often the way Mother Nature didn’t quite deliver what I had hoped. Landscape Photography can be like that especially in the English Lake District. Despite the conditions it was wonderful to be out, here’s how I got on.

My current collection of framed Landscape Photography prints from the Keswick area are available here on my website.

Sunrise over Keswick form Latrigg

For a long time now I’ve wanted to witness Sunrise from Latrigg above Keswick. I’ve tried and failed on a few occasions but today I was really determined to make it. I made it alright, but it was a disaster. It was actually the worst experience of my photographic journey so far. I won’t go into details other than to say I learned about my limits with having CFS. I learned to respect what my body was telling me and I hope never to experience anything like this ever again.

Photographically I was pleased with the shots I captured. It wasn’t the all out sunrise explosion I had hoped but I’m grateful I got there, witnessed it and now I’d like to forget it ever happened.

Just before Sunrise over the Vale of Keswick.

Keswick and Derwentwater shrouded in Mist.

Mist clinging to the Trees.

The Bench on Latrigg.

A fine view this morning.

Looking into Borrowdale.

Chasing the Light to Latrigg

One of those amazingly clear Autumnal days in the Lake District and a great opportunity to be outside let alone take photographs. I’ve recently got myself a new form of transport and after the recent 10 day wash out in Ullswater last month I wasn’t letting today pass without a ride and the chance of some photography.

Looking over the Troutbeck valley from Kirkstone Pass. Some fine Autumn colours still around and looking great in the low Autumn Sun.

Over The Tongue and into the High Fells Frostwick and Ill Bell on the rights Stoney Cove Pike on the left.

A wide panoramic view over Troutbeck

One advantage of riding a motorcycle around the Lake District is the ability to squeeze into tight places for a few moments.

A derelict hut with a fine view up Troutbeck Park and onto the Higher Fells.

It’s only earlier afternoon put the setting sun casts big shadows across the foreground.

Continuing on my way the next stop is Ullswater. I drove up this road to Docker last month and thought of returning on my bike.

A great viewpoint over the southern part of Ullswater.

Fantastic.

A quick visit to this little Jetty previously visited in moodier times.

The low sun adds great illumination the Autumn colours over Ullswater.

The target for today was to Catch Sunset over Keswick from Latrigg. The viewpoint is at the end of the path on the left. Hope I make it.

Little Man almost like a huge Sand Dune

Getting Closer.

The norther tip of Derwentwater and the sun illuminating Catbells.

Made it and what a great view for such a modest walk.

This is one way to enjoy such a fantastic day. I’ve always wanted to try this.

The guy on the right was on his radio guiding the Paraglider. Sounds like his first solo flight.

Fantastic Light

Catbells with a touch of warm Sun

The Helvellyn Range.

The guy from my previous picture headed up a little higher.

Keswick After Glow

The setting sun over the distant fells beyond Keswick, Derwentwater and Catbells. A fine experience to watch the amazing light paint the Landscape.

Helvellyn Range at Sunset

Amazing light on the Helvellyn Range as seen from Latrigg above Keswick. A touch of snow on the higher ground at the end of October 2013.

Prints available online using the link on the right. Thanks for looking.

Amazing Light

The amazing Autumnal light above Keswick rendered Little Man almost like sand dunes. Fantastic Light. As I was heading towards the viewpoint on Latrigg its sometimes to easy to focus on the sun itself. It’s worth turning around a few times as you can often be amazed with whats happening behind you.

Prints of this amazing scene are available via the link on the right.
