A Trip To Cumbria

I think it's fair to say that outside of portraiture that I do commercially and for fun, the genre I like shooting is Landscape. I have just got back from a family break up in Cumbria which is just a Landscape Photographers paradise.  And fortunately for me, my family are cool with letting me run off and take some pictures.  Maybe a little too cool,  Hmmm.

Gary's LRPS Panel

I'd forgotten all about this.  I created a video about my LRPS panel and never shared it.   Consider that issue resolved!
I susbcribe to a few photography periodicals.  The British Journal Of Photography, The Journal Of the Royal Photographic Society (it comes with my RPS membership) and Black and White Photography Magazine. A few months ago (issue 274) I noticed a picture and thought to myself "I took a picture a bit like that" and didn't think much else about it.
That's right, I don't like this picture.  I took it the other day on a family trip out.  I snuck off in the night to grab it.  I'd researched the area and decided on what I wanted to take, but here's why I don't like it and why I wanted to share it with you.

Cornish Landscapes

Last week I took a trip out to Cornwall with my family and a good bunch of friends.  They're an understanding bunch and were more than happy to see me shoot off to grab a few pictures. Maybe too happy? So I shot off to a few local photography hotspots with my ND filters and for the night shot, a powerful torch to light up some points of interest.
