Landscape photography

Landscape Photography is the art of capturing the look and feel of a place in an image.

Caught in the act: A landscape photographer waiting for the right lighting to create a masterpiece. A potentially classic picture: A small flock of sheep and lambs, a wooden gate and stone wall, and the beautiful Lakes scenery in the background.

Clearly I couldn't go and copy his shot, so I thought I would document the process in action.

Down on the floor of a glaciated valley, the mountain in  shadow contrasts with the fence and hedge in sunlight.

In the same location a little later, the shadow cast by Causey Pike has removed most of the light from these trees. This effect is very short lived. You only have a minute or so to catch it as the shadow creeps across the valley.
