The Twilight Zone, Hodge Close Quarry, Lake District
This image was taken at 4.30pm today at the end of a cracking day's 1-2-1 with Rob, a new client who decided to join me for a day in the Lake District.
The day started off misty and remained that way all day which prompted me to take him to one of my favourite places in the Lakes, Hodge Close Quarry nr Coniston. We shot the usual array of the lovely silver birch trees at ground level before I made the suggestion that we head down to the bowels of the quarry itself.
The light was fading fast as expected and I thought a thirty minute session doing some light painting with my LEDLenser headtorch might be in order. The metal remains of the base of a derrick crane look great when illuminated. The results came out better than I expected. What do you think?
I shall be running a couple of one day workshops here throughout the winter. If you would like to be notified ahead of the general public, feel free to SIGN UP to my mailing list newsletters.
