Landscape Pictures
Even though it is already spring in the UK, many trees have yet to go into full bloom just like this one along Crummock Water in the Lake District, Cumbria, UK. We were lucky to get some good weather heading back to Buttermere from Cockermouth and decided to make a stop by the roadside to capture this picture. I have used a polarizing filter in this case to deepen the blue of the sky.
An update from where I am currently… in the cold, cold UK 🙂 Not that the weather has been that bad so far actually (more posts from my current trip later when I get back home)… but certainly not as fair as the weather we experienced along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. The above shot was taken at Apollo Bay at the same spot where I took this picture, except this was taken the next morning. The weather continued to be brilliant for much of the rest of the day. More pictures from that day to follow… 🙂
We were about to head off back to the motel at Apollo Bay after taking the previous post when I caught the setting sun casting a wonderful glow on the field opposite where our car was parked. Sometimes photography is like that, you get the pictures you least expect, and just when you’ve just packed your equipment and thought of calling it for the day!
