Above Borrowdale Summer Evening Shoot

An evening of hoping for the best form a popular location. I’m not afraid to challenge myself at the popular tourist locations. When time is short they can be quick and easy wins in terms of standing in front of something inspiring.

You can see more of my prints from Borrowdale here and from around Keswick here.

It’s been a while since I visited Surprise View high above Derwentwater in the Borrowdale Valley. I was heading to Keswick in search of inspiration as the sun set and settled on a visit to Surprise View.

Would I be Surprised with the conditions?…

As the sun sets you lose sight of the Sun long before it sets due to the hills. Being a bit higher up may give me more distance to view the sun and capture any explosions of colour as the sun eventually sets.

As the sun set there were no big Surprises in terms of colours in the sky. Skiddaw illuminate like I’d hoped, these subtle tones I find quite pleasing.

I’ll come here again for Sunset and maybe a morning shoot as all of the foreground below could glow with good morning light.
