Dusk at Ashness Landing Pier, Derwentwater, Lake District
2019 Lake District Landscape Photography Workshops

I know that this subject or composition is hardly original, in fact I have taken it more times than I've had hot dinners but there's an irresistible charm about this pier and it draws me back time after time after time.
To my eyes, the subject just works, regardless of the time of day/month/season, light, colour, and even water level. Of course I think that's down to that wonderful wooden step located at the end of the pier that makes all the difference but also because the pier is not horizontal. If fact it dips down quite a bit which allows for the wooden posts at the end of the pier to sit much lower in the frame therefore opening up the space above it to be surrounded by water, even when shooting wide angle.In this instance, I used a Nisi Six Stop ND filter to slow down the water to thirty seconds. Long enough to smooth out the water perfectly.
