Autumnal Derwentwater (SS-03432)
The western shore of Derwentwater is fast becoming one of my favourite
photographic locations.
On this occasion parking up on the roadside at the foot
of Skelgill Bank and walking the tree covered footpaths to Hawse End in total
darkness at 6am. The silence and tranquility is something that only that
unearthly pre-dawn time can offer, but despite the time, it is a pleasure to be
there.
This photograph was taken close to the Brandelhow landing stage and was a must
because of the stunning colours of the foliage on the trees. Latrigg is
clearly visible in the centre with the eastern Skiddaw fells and Blencathra
overshadowing it from behind.
Date taken 16 October 2009.
Settings: Pentax K10D with 18-55mm lens @ 21mm. Exposure 1/8 sec @ f/11.
