Fortification

Another image from the recent Lakeland trip with Mike Muddyboots - <a href="https://www.flickr.com , and Brad Eide over on holiday from America: www.flickr.com/photos/58071954@N08/ and Mike Muddyboots: www.flickr.com/photos/muddybootsuk This was a proper full on day of shooting from start to finish, luckily the heavitly overcast weather was ideal as this allowed us to shoot right through the day, even going for long exposures with no issues with the sun.

This is Hardknott Roman Fort, or rather the ruins of it, built under Hadrian's rule in the 2nd century, tucked away in an unforgiving and remote area of the Lake Distric,t it's really hard to imagine anyone living here let alone the legions of Roman soldiers who would have been stationed here..

We spent quite a while exploring the place and we all spent time shooting it from different angles, it really is a cracking spot with loads of photographic opportunities all over the place, we were really lucky with some of the light breaks too during the overcast weather, the key here was to just spend a good amount of time watching the weather and trying to guess what it was going to do before it did it so you could be ready to shoot, I reckon I got about 4 maybe 5 images from here that I'm really pleased with, which from one location on one visit is a great haul, this being the first one.

Definitely a place to return to with a few more ideas for shooting locations higher up the valley.

A vlog by Mike of our trip can be found here- really worth a watch - www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbghJ2rFhD8&feature=em-upload...
