Damp Day in the Lake District

Today was the first day of the Landscape Photography course in the Lake District. It was a bit damp all day.

We spent the morning in Eskdale photographing waterfalls and shapes and patterns in and around the river. Lots of rocks too.

After lunch we headed up to Hardknott Fort. The clouds were too low to go higher up the pass but it was quite atmospheric around the fort. It was wet here and David’s camera stopped working. Fortunately, once the lens contacts were dried out it worked fine, which was a big relief!

Then up to Devoke Water for moody shots of the boat house in the mist and quite heavy rain.

Not the best weather we could have had but some good photographs were taken through the day.
