I managed to very quickly capture this scene on Thursday evening at the end of day three of my four-day workshop in the Lake District. I drove my clients to Coniston from the amazing Cathedral Cavern only to find the fantastic colours in the sky had arrived as we turned up.

 

A mad dash to the water's edge saw around fourteen photographers on a workshop all line the banks of Monk Pier but thanks to my seven foot Gitzo tripod, I was able to shoot the scene over the heads of those who were stood in front of me. The looks on their faces when they turned around and looked up at the sheer height of the camera was priceless.

 

Anyhow, here's what I managed to capture before helping a couple of my clients set up. I can often set up and shoot an image before my clients have set up their cameras so I often only have literally two to three minutes. Still, that's all I needed on this occasion. I hope you all like it and feel free to share it if you wish :D
