The Story


A hiking trip, doubling as a landscapes photography trip to the Lake District brought us to the Skelwith Bridge area.

Parking in the National Trust carpark, we walked down through what I believe to be Bridge How Coppice (speak up if I'm wrong) and followed the River Brathay towards Skelwith Bridge.

About 300 yards from the main bridge and Chesters By The River we came across this amazing, contemporary, footbridge crossing the river. The camera had to come out!

It was Autumn and the trees were lovely colours so we spent a while here before heading down to Chesters for, guess what, yep, coffee and large pieces of cake.

 

The Shot


Used  a tripod here, low down, and hyperfocal focussing to keep everything nice and sharp. Had to wait for a clear period as there were a lot of tourists hiking past.


The Processing


The shot was processed in Adobe Lightroom and Nik Dfine, RAW Pre-sharperner, Nik Color Efex
