Landscapes of the British Isles

Landscape photography is all about ‘light”.

The light before sunrise known as ‘Civil Start’ can be particularly good, sometimes with little to no wind and possibly, mists.

Once the sun has risen a little above the horizon the light quickly becomes harsh with too much contrast.

Sunsets can also offer nice light, especially after the sun dips below the horizon lighting up cirrus clouds in pink.

Sometimes a thin cloud layer can produce soft diffused light, again producing effective images.

During the Autumn of 2021, I teamed up with my good friend Martin Till with whom I’ve been on several trips before. We had planned to go to Glencoe the year before but had to postpone due to Covid restrictions.

Glencoe in Scotland resulted in some gorgeous autumnal scenery, moody skies, heavy rain, swollen rivers and of course, waterfalls.

Autumn 2022 and it was time to head to Englands Lake District, again with Martin. Heavy showers and strong winds sometimes made photography difficult, but thats the Lake District!

However, and it gave us more moody skies and some delightful conditions.
