Renowned historical photographer Ashley P. Abraham famously described the Lake District as containing 'more natural beauty, more literary associations and more diversity of charm than any other similar area of the whole of the Earth's surface' - and having journeyed widely as a professional travel photographer I'm very much inclined to agree. This proposed three-day tour (the duration of which is flexible depending on your requirements) explores some of the most photogenic locations the Lakes have to offer, with a flexible itinerary as we follow the best light, seasonal conditions and weather. The trip is suitable for all photography levels, be it a beginner looking to use a camera for the first time or a seasoned pro looking for guidance on the best vantage points. How hard we push is completely up to you - I don't mind working from sunrise to sunset, but equally happy to offer a more relaxed experience with plenty of cafe stops! There's also the opportunity for some theory sessions in the evening.
The itinerary will be flexible as the best locations vary depending on the weather conditions, season and time of day. Light is key to photography and I will attempt to ensure we make the most of whatever conditions we have available - getting up high if the weather is clear or exploring the many spectacular waterfalls and rivers in reduced visibility. All private transport between viewpoints is included. For those wishing to learn a bit more about their camera we can cover: Composition Camera skills Long exposures Off-camera lighting and flash Astrophotography Image cataloguing Post-processing Soft proofing Printing A typical day begins with a sunrise start (not obligatory!), before heading back for breakfast. Then a day exploring with a couple of cafe breaks and a lunch stop. After sunset we can head out for some astrophotography or have an image review session back at the hotel / pub (again not obligatory for those that want a relaxing evening).
