Brougham Castle

I paused briefly (it was too cold to linger) by Brougham Castle, Penrith, this morning as the Moon looked good behind it illuminating the river. I ended up having to put this image together from three different photographs to get close to what I actually saw.

Low Cloud

The light was quite interesting early on (11/1/12) so I took a couple of shots -

Moonlit Morning

Went out for a few photographs before the Sun popped up today, quite enjoyed the long exposures with the clouds moving, would have been nice to have had a clearer view of the hills as well though.

Not sure what caused those two lights in front of the cloud on this last photo, didn’t notice anything when I took them, but then I wasn’t looking up there

A few photographs of the dawn, then one of the cloud on the hills a couple of hours later

Quick look at the Fells

This weekend we were busy with a DIY project, but that did not stop us having a quick look at the Lakeland Fells

There is a zoomable version of this panoramic available here.

Light

Sometimes capturing the moment is impossible, or at least it is for me, this morning the light was changing so quickly you hardly knew where to look as no sooner had you focused and set the exposure than the light had moved on to another part of the Pennines. Anyway, here’s a couple of photographs of the early morning light.

Mist, Leaves & Birds

The Sleeping Place

Graeme — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:45:32 +0000

We went to Penrith cemetery today for a wander around to look at the various forms of memorials, headstones, and grave markers. I took the camera along of course which to some may be a bit of an odd thing to do, but those weathered stones have some wonderful textures on them.

When we returned home I decided to look up the word ‘cemetery’ as I could not remember where it came from, trust the Greeks to come up with κοιμητήριον: sleeping place.

Sorry for the image overload, I took maybe one or two more photographs than I should have done -

Catching Up

Graeme — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 08:42:45 +0000

Long time no blog, well a few days at least. I gave in and caught some cold bug which kept me away from the computer for a while, today I can sit and stare at it, then every now and then remember to click the mouse button luckily the computer is not voice controlled as I still can’t speak Anyway, I did manage the odd photograph in between trying to turn myself inside out coughing and sneezing.

This morning I decided to try and take a photograph of the ISS passing over, unfortunately the conditions were not quite right, I did however take a few dawn photographs instead.

Not sure yet what I think of this next one, I tried playing around with one of the previous dawn images and tinted it…
