A rainy day up Latrigg

Latrigg is just north of Keswick and is a small hill with a stunning view of Keswick, Derwent and the surrounding hills. For a short walk the vista is stunning

Wainwright states it is good for a view whatever the weather

So to test the theory we popped up today in pouring rain.

He is absolutely correct. A great muddy wet walk yet still some beautful views.

There are of course 3 rules in photography

1. Have I got the right kit. Is there a technical solution to the problem or the picture i desire
2. Am I being artistic enough. Do I have the right composition, view lighting etc
3. I havent walked up this rainy hill not to take a picture


This is the view on the way up


And the view from the top

Finally lost of other pictures on my Picassa album opposite

A great walk

Here is a link for some better pics

Now looking forward to 2012

Best wishes for the New Year all round
