MY B&W photography :
So I made my first ever trip to the world renowned Lake District last weekend with my Dad and this is probably my favourite shot from the trip, although don't be fooled that the conditions in the Lakes were like this for all the 4 days!
On the first day we experienced some nice sunny conditions with patchy cloud and a mostly very nice sunset (pic to come later) but then the wind and rain really kicked in for the next two days. We experienced regularly average wind speeds of 25mph+ with gusts easily up to 60mph. However when I got home my Mum told me the weather forecast had talked about gusts up to 100mph!!! All I know for sure was that a tree did blow over where we were staying... The rain also of course played its part, many torrential downpours and even hail one night! Anyway this certainly didn't prevent us shooting and we made the most of it as we visited some waterfalls and hopefully captured some stormy looking pics. Even with the weather like this the Lake District is an amazing place to be, the terrain is like nothing I have seen before, stunning!
Anyway on to this shot. Overnight the rain went, the wind vanished and stunning reflections appeared! Once I got outside the conditions were so calm that I decided we should try Buttermere and sure enough once we got there the conditions were fantastic! I have never seen a lake so calm and the reflections just before this photo were taken were literally mirror perfect! Anyway for this I like the fact that you can see very slight blurred reflections and I loved half the mountain being obscured by some low level clouds, with it being placed on the left hand side it felt a bit like an anchor for the composition to but I'm not sure if others see that or not.
Anyway, enough blabble. Hope you like this shot and a big thanks to my Dad for help in getting this shot as I wouldn't have it without his help :)

Did I mention I love reflecting pools? Well I do and I love predawn photography as well.
I'm not Mormon but I have several close friends who are LDS and have been to and by the LDS Temple in Mesa Arizona several times and I've always wanted to photograph it just before sunrise.
I also wanted to do the west entrance as most people capture the north reflecting pool. For this my first attempt I used a Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital camera and a Canon EF 17-40mm F/4L USM Zoom lens.
This is straight out of the camera no Photoshop converted RAW to JPEG using Canon Digital Photo Professional I played with the white balance to get the unique look.

Took a trip up to Bath at the weekend and had a wander round Prior Park with its amazing Palladian bridge. The colours and light were awesome! Designed by Alexander Pope and Capability Brown for Ralph Allen in 1734, the gardens are now owned by the National Trust. The mansion house which is at the top of the valley is now a school. Ralph Allen's main claim to fame was reforming the British postal system.
Hope you all have a great week.
Here's a link to my BLOG. New entry posted last week.
This was taken in Temagami ON. In this area, the biomass at the bottom of the pond makes the water look black and it provides nice reflections as a result. Temagami is a region in Northern Ontario, about five to six hours north of Toronto, well north of North Bay.
