Ice on Blea Tarn

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 20 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Blea Tarn which features in Wordsworth's famous poem 'The Excursion'

.

This was photographed on Saturday when I met up with John Leech for a dusk to dawn shoot in the English Lake District.

12 hours photography in beautiful scenery like this produced a lot of landscape photos, both colour and b&w, and I'll be posting the results here over the coming weeks. I hope you'll like them.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.

You lead the eye so well and set a pace for moving through the frame. This one lingers. Wonderfully winter.

Realy nice shot here. I would have been tepmted to pan down a little as there is nothiing going on in that sky though. And I really think the large white border overpowers the shot, which is a shame because it is a really nice, well executed photograph.
