I recently had a short break in the Lake District. I started off with 2 nights in a Travelodge just outside Penrith, before moving to Grassmere Village for 3 nights in much nicer accommodation. The main purpose of the trip was to knock another 6 hills off my 'to do' list (190 done, 24 to go), but I did leave one free day for photography. On this day, I chose to take a circular walk around Grassmere and Rydal Water.
The weather for the whole trip was better than deserved, in mid-October, in the Lakes. But, this was a largely overcast day. Even this far north, the unseasonably warm September/October meant that there was still little colour change to be seen in the leaves. I chose to concentrate on IR images with converted Canon 40D and either a 24mm or a 50mm prime.
