Another new image and a quite unplanned one, we had decided to go up to the Lakes despite the weather forecast being less than ideal with some heavy rain rolling in, but the one thing heavy rain brings is great clouds, so the idea was to look for breaks in the weather and worst case scenario was drive around and just have a beer somewhere and some lunch...

It was only a last minute decision to drive via the Langdales, purely as I hadn't been for ages, Blea Tarn (this location) is absolutely shot to death, you can see why as it's beautiful but it really does need still water and some real drama to bring it to life, trying to avoid shooting this popular shot too much we call it 'going into Bleahab' :-) but, passing here the sky looked great at the back over the Langdales so we decided to stop, I was going to fly the drone and get some still / video.

Once at the shoreline the scene wasn't really that good with rippled water, and flat light, so I just composed a shot and left the camera there on the tripod literally just incase a break came while I was flying the drone.

A while afterwards and after I'd pretty much exhausted one drone battery, the Langdale Pikes to rear just started to light up against the black sky so it was back to the set up camera and sure enough a few moments later they were fully illuminated, if I wasn't already set up I'd definitely have missed it... the light then faded away and it was back to full gloom once again.

100% worth stopping after all, just the little moments you want to capture that happen so fleetingly against the far larger proportion of lacklustre showings.

Have a great weekend all.
