The Lake District
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 1 July 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
On Sunday I went on a grand tour of the English Lake District with a photographer friend I met via DPReview's Nikon D40 - 80 forum.
I'll be posting quite a few of the photos over the next few days but here's one of the man himself at Wasdale head.
Here's a link to some of John's photos from the day:

Very well composed and a stunning view of the Lake District. One of the first areas I visited after I moved to the UK. I loved it there and your photo really represents my mental image of the Lake District really well.

Very nice shot. I love the mood to it, and the light moves the eye through the image very nicely. Well done.

Excellent picture. I love the choice of black and white here. I can really see this being used as a backdrop for a movie poster.

Hi Ian. Another great composition and subject!
One of many places I'd love to visit one day. I have friends moving to Chester soon, so maybe I'll try and fit it in when I'm up that way.
