Water Under the Bridge, Ashness Bridge, Derwentwater, Lake District

Taken during my day spent alone in the Lake District back in August 2019. Derwentwater is my favourite part of the Lake District as there is so much to photograph that appeals to me (wooden jetties, boats, bays, packhorse bridges, a river, waterfalls, and of course the lake).

I checked the government's Flood Information Service website (flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/sta.../5178) the night before I ventured up to the Lakes to see how high the water levels were at Lodore and the level was high, especially for the height of summer (shows you just how much water had fallen in that August). Knowing the level of the water locally, I decided that I would pay Ashness Bridge a visit as I suspected that there would be enough water to capture it looking in reasonably full force and I was correct.

The stormy skies above added to the atmosphere and the gorgeous lush, green foliage and trees all around reminded me that it was in fact summer (apparently).

Regarding the technique used to capture the water that you see, I opted for several shutter speeds from half a second all the way up to thirty but I eventually settled on this one at just 1.6 seconds, using my lovely Kase Polariser to darken the water a little while using a six stop ND filter to slow the water down enough to soften it but not too much so as to completely lose the detail in the water.
