In this film I rise to the challenge of landscape photography in the rain ! Walking the shore of Derwentwater in the Lake District composition hunting, battling with the elements and doing my best to capture a few moody images.

I have no weather sealed kit so this was incredibly hard work, not only to find compositions and shoot the photographs but to also film the adventure at the same time. The rain was unrelenting all afternoon and I didn't walk as far up the shore of Derwent Water as I would have liked, throwing in the towel after about 2 hours.

Definitely not my best images but I'm happy with the end results given the soaking wet conditions.

Derwent Water occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep.

The area is a place of considerable scenic value. It is surrounded by and many of the slopes facing Derwentwater are extensively wooded. A regular passenger launch operates on the lake, taking passengers between various landing stages. There are seven lakeside marinas, the most popular stops being Keswick, Portinscale and the Lodore Falls from which boats may be hired. Recreational walking is a major tourist activity in the area and there is an extensive network of footpaths in the hills and woods surrounding the lake.

My channel aims to inspire you to get outside, into nature, into the countryside, experience the great outdoors and enjoy the landscape from where I share my photography trips, travels and adventures, hoping to encourage and motivate you to venture out and take a few images along the way - if you have enjoyed this video please consider subscribing to enjoy future episodes.
