Photography at our bed and breakfast in the Lake District

November 4, 2017 By BoutiqueBlogger Leave a Comment

You’re going to buy a digital camera as a Christmas present for someone but do they know how to understand the manual

You see that view and want to capture it on camera but it never quiet comes out.

Colin Reynolds works with our guests at our luxury bed and breakfast in the Lake District to help understand how to use the new camera to take that stunning image. (He kindly offers 10% off his normal charge for a session)

Colin is one of the best local landscape photographer. His landscape images reflect and evoke the images from the Lake District, Morecambe Bay, Howgills and the Eden Valley

These are three of his images with Colin’s explanations. If you stay at 1 Park Road many of his images hang in bedrooms or on the stairs and halls

The first is the iron works at Shap which he calls Shap Cathedral

Colin says “Belching steam can be made to look almost cloud like – in fact this is known as the cloud factory by some youngsters. Again an element of luck – you position yourself relative to the wind direction and then you open the shutter and see what comes to pass. It is not just down to luck – as the photographer you choose your position and the length of time of the exposure – searching for something unique/surreal/sublime or just down right strange. That is the joy of photography.
 
His second image is a very typical landscape image of water which is called Grange with Rainbow that looks across the estuary towards Grange over Sands

Colin’s comment about this ” long exposures bring a sense of the unknown in to the controlled world of digital photography. 25 minutes long, near the end of the day. The ‘rainbow’ in the image – it wasn’t there at the start and it had gone by the end of the exposure – was it ever there or is it just some distortion of light through the lens. It is elements of serendipity that can make a long exposure image – sometimes they work and sometimes they do not – that is the beauty and fun of working with time over a long period.
 
The third one we’ve chosen is more water but water falls – a few of them around here
 
River flow
 
Colins says “a fairly standard use of long exposure to render a sense of peace to an image. The sharp edges taken off the flow of water but at the same time holding the detail so that it is not a bright white highway that bisects the image.
