Sounds of the Elements
It seems to me that Cumbria gets its “summer” in May and September, rather than the traditional June/July/August. We’re currently experiencing a rather dry period up here in the northwest, to the extent that fire warnings have been issued across high moorland. During a gloriously clear and beautiful day, one of many recently, I went hiking around one of my favourite playgrounds in the Lake District: Great and Little Langdale.
And if I’m gan hiking around there then I couldn’t resist a visit to Blea Tarn. Unfortunately it was way too windy for crystal reflections on the tarn, but the light was still glorious for a composition of the tarn, its glacial boulders, and the Langdale Pikes shining bright.
Blea Tarn, Little Langdale, Lake District, Cumbria, England.
ISO100, ƒ/16 at 14mm (21mm full-frame equiv.), shot with my Sigma dp0 Quattro. This is a HDR image made from three bracketed exposures. Processed in Lightroom, blended in Aurora HDR 2017, edited and finished in Luminar.

Another walk up to Lingmoor and Side Pike to catch the last of the heather with the Langdales as the backdrop.

Great Langdale from Side Pike - Lake District.
Can't beat a morning up in the mountains like this; feeling like you're the only person in the world. This was a stunning start to the day in the Lake District, standing on the edge of Side Pike overlooking the famous Great Langdale bathed in the first rays of golden sunlight. The majestic Langdale Pikes, including Harrison Stickle, Loft Crag, Pavey Ark and Pike of Stickle, can be seen central in the scene rising dramatically from the green pastures right up to the iconic peaked summits.
This photograph is a panorama composed of numerous landscape images stitched together in order to showcase the wide-angle vista from this viewpoint. It was a pretty dark and moody start to the day, but a sudden break in the clouds allowed this fabulous sunlight to emerge and illuminate the scene perfectly. I chose Side Pike for this point of view as it offers such an amazing vista of the valley and surrounding mountains, despite being quite a lowly summit itself.

Spotlight on Side Pike by Pete Rowbottom Via Flickr: Another trip up to Lakeland, and unusually not a solo trip this time as I was meeting up with Mike (Muddyboots) - www.flickr.com/photos/muddybootsuk, and Brad Eide - www.flickr.com/photos/58071954@N08 over from America, the weather forecast for the few days was best described as 'dire'.... I'd arrived the afternoon before and headed over to the Langdales on my own and the weather certainly lived up to expectation, within minutes of being up high the calamity that seems to follow me around came into play yet again as my camera blew over on the tripod while I wasn't looking, somehow only sustained superficial damage to the filter holder on my 14-24 lens, then I noticed that I had forgotten my battery charger and my cable release (great work Pete!).... thankfully Mike had a car charger (cheers) and I would just be limited to maximum 30 seconds exposures which wasn't a big issue. This shot was on the second day of the trip, the light had been really flat and dark skies with rain showers were the order of the day as we were driving along we decided to do a quick stop looking down the valley here towards Side Pike and Pavey ark at the rear as there was tiny bits of light breaking through but nothing special, one of us remarked that we just needed Side Pike lighting up and literally within a minute bing! it happened! talk about right place right time!! perfectly bathed in golden light out of absolutely nothing, if we had got nothing else all day I would be happy after bagging this one, as soon as it had appeared it went again and the scene was left looking flat and dull. We talked about the weather and I always think on days like this in the Lakes or Scotland it's always worth just driving about keeping an eye out for breaks in the weather as sooner or later you will hopefully drop onto something, as was the case here.
