Fvgit inreparabile tempvs – well time may be irretrievable, but at least we can record some of it as it passes us by. I was out yesterday for my morning wander before the Sun popped up over the Pennines, it was pleasant wandering in the moonlight with the wind shaking the trees just enough to dislodge a leaf or two and make the clouds hurtle by. So enjoyable was the experience that I returned home, grabbed the camera and tripod and decided to take a couple of photographs…

I know I shouldn’t have left the light on, but it was dark and Hugo (the dog) may have been frightened all alone This next one has a nice colour to it, until you realize that the orange/yellow has nothing to do with the approaching dawn but everything to do with light pollution illuminating the clouds.

After taking a few photographs I decided to try a small timelapse, it’s been a while since I tried one but it was fun to set the camera up and let it run for a while.

Out of the cloud

Clouds clouds everywhere… well that’s normally the case when you live in Cumbria. With us seeing so much cloud I decided to paint some

Shifting…

Decided to try out a bit of tilt shift on a landscape I took the other day looking over the Eden Valley towards the Pennines.

It was only by chance I picked up the camera when I headed out of the house earlier, I’m pleased I did as the light over the hills was quite impressive. So, I paused, snapped a few photographs, and carried on my way

Sunrise…

I could not resist this shot

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.

Morning Clouds

This morning I wasn’t going to photograph clouds again, but then I thought, hey, they look quite interesting…..

Morning Cloud

I wasn’t going to take the camera on my morning wander, as the rain had been on and off for a while I thought the chances of taking any photographs was slim. In the end I was glad I did take it as the clouds changed constantly from nearly all over grey with splatters of rain, to interesting textures and colours.

Ullswater

A quick trip down to Ullswater to blow away a few cobwebs and wander with the dog provided me with the opportunity of taking a couple of photographs.

There’s a larger version of the panoramic here.
