Mist
Yesterday I set my alarm for 3am. When I left the house I was pleased to see the remnants of a starry night and my hopes for a good morning were raised. By the time I made it to Derwent Water (3.45) there was already some colour in the sky. Whilst taking some shots of a landing stage I noticed some mist begin to develop down at the south end of the lake and quickly jumped back in the car. When I got a bit closer I parked-up, jumped out and hurriedly set-off on foot towards the lake. In all the haste I hadn't bothered to put on my wellys and this was a big mistake as I was quickly squelching around in the boggy ground!
Despite wet feet this was the best morning of photography I could have imagined. It felt like you could point the camera at anything and it would come out great.
I'm definitely a convert to sunrises now, they are well worth the extra effort and you don't see a soul for hours, an added bonus.
