Photography Hiking Weekend

We have just finished our first Photography weekend and what a great weekend it was.  The weather could have been more helpful, but it did mean that we got some great shots of waterfalls following the rain and lots of atmospheric shots of the lakes and mountains.  
We ran this weekend in conjunction with the London Photographic Meetup Group, so many thanks to Alex and Jean Christophe with the Photographic help and support.

Our first stop was around Rydal where we have lots of inspiration from the Falls, the river flowing through the grounds of Rydal Hall and the lovely cottages and Rydal Mount itself.
 And this is some of the group sharing advice and trying to get the best shot.
 After this we headed towards Grasmere to get some great views from Loughrigg Terrace and then Grasmere itself for lunch, with lots of opportunity to photograph the shops and around the church.
 Lots more shots along the lakeshore in the afternoon with a workshop session around the use of filters to blur images and then back to the hostel.
And the lovely footbridge over the river Rothay.
Sunday we spent time photographing the falls at Skelwith, which were in full flow after the rain.
 Followed by lots of opportunities around Loughrigg Tarn.
 And then a group shot before departing.
