Late afternoon at Loughrigg Tarn[/caption]Landscapes
On a more sedate landscapes photographic trip to the Lake District we visited Loughrigg Tarn.
Surely it must be one of the most picture-postcard, photogenic spots in the Lakes.
Followers of our landscapes work will know that we simply cannot pass up a "sun through the trees" shot, so when the opportunity presented itself late one afternoon we had to stop and set up the gear.
The sheep obligingly positioned themselves for foreground interest and the shot was in the bag.
As always, coffee next!
The Shot
Into the sun so the camera was positioned to hide the sun behind a branch whilst still capturing the landscape required, it can be fiddly ti set up but the effect is worth it. When the sun moves out slightly from the branch a flare will occur ..... click.
Wait a minute or so and, bingo!

Getting there ...
We turned off the A593 onto Ellers Brow, parked in the carpark at the top of Mill Brow Wood and walked to the Tarn. You can also drive up Foulstep from Skelwith Bridge to the same carpark.
