Erratic - a photo on Flickriver

Erratic

Well this was a very impromptu trip out, and it has to be said probably the single most fruitful photography trip I have ever had in such a small amount of time, I get a phonecall from Mike - Muddy Boots - www.flickr.com/photos/muddybootsuk...... do I want to do an all nighter up to the Lakes to do some night shots as the skies will be clear.... errrrm, yeh go on then..

We set off and decided to call in at Ingleton on the way North to try and catch sunset from up on the limestone pavement by Ingleborough, this didn't quite go to plan due to 'refreshments' in the form of liquid, and non liquid in Ingleton taking longer than planned, this was only really a bonus shoot and we realised we were not going to make it in time so we looked for another option nearby, thankfully, somebody, (or more accurately an Ice Age Glacier) had left this erratic boulder lying on it's own in this field, so we decided to use this as foreground interest looking out towards the Lake District at sunset, a very basic image in terms of composition, but for me it does everything it needs to.

The sunset didn't dissapoint, with great light and colours in the sky, and it had been a good walk to burn a bit of the Fish & Chips off.

For anyone who doesn't know, an Erratic boulder (like this) is a remnant from the Ice Age, when the glaciers melted they started moving and when they finally melted everything that they had been carrying along with them, trees, rocks, and whatever got left exactly where that happened, which explains why you get enormous random boulders on top of big hills like this for no apparent reason, looking at the worn ground around the base of it, the sheep now use it for scratching themselves, I had to get rid of quite a bit of wool from the scene....

It was seriously hard work staying awake, I think we managed just over an hours sleep in the car, not something I could do on a regular basis! But it was more than worth it for the images,

Mike's done a Vlog of the trip which you can see here, give it a watch it's really good. -
