When we were at Tarn Hows, the weather was rainy and foggy. Because everything was green and there was no light, the scene was pretty much colourless. Then I noticed this patch full of water lilies way in the distance and it was the only colourful thing around, perfectly contrasting with the surrounding landscape.
A shot taken from Loughrigg Fell during the last light on a winter's day as the sun sets down behind me casting a brilliant pink glow on the snowy peaks in front. Loughrigg Fell is a hill in the central part of the English Lake District. It stands on the end of the long ridge coming down from High Raise over Silver How towards Ambleside.
The Lake District sees some extremely windy weather during the year and this is more so around the banks of the lakes. If you look at trees right next to one of these lakes, you will definitely notice that most of them have been bent by wind over the years and grow in a natural arch formation. These can be amazing compositional elements - used to frame a subject, form curves or leading lines or if you happen to come across an especially pretty one (Lake District is full of them), use it as a main subject.
