The Darkness Closes in
This is one of my re-visits back to my Lake District shoot back in 2011.
The clouds had been drifting about menacingly all afternoon and I was already on my way back down from the summit of Dale Head when the cloud cover became much thicker and threatened to engulf the remainder of any brighter light. I wanted to show that situation in this photograph and I was keen to hold the brighter light in place, yet retain some detail within the much darker shadow areas. It was important to me that the image retained a natural, as opposed to over-processed look, which is why I have processed it now, instead of six years ago, when I did not have the necessary skills to do it.
