Snowy Coniston Water

Post by WorldInFocus » Tue Jan 11, 2022 9:29 am

Hi Everyone,

A few pictures I took of Lake Coniston back on Boxing Day (26th Dec 2021) from the Monk Coniston Car Park and Bank Ground Farm.

Very atmospheric.

Being pedantic I think it’s actually Coniston Water and I can’t think of a body of water in the Lake District with “lake “ in the name; all waters, meres and tarns.(another bit of useless info for the pub quiz)

Edit - maybe just one, Bassenthwaite Lake (bing maps)

Yes, likewise being pedantic, I was always led to believe that Bassenthwaite was the only proper lake in the Lake District.

Ian, if you are happy to receive some critique... the first picture works best as it follows the ‘thirds’ regime. Putting the horizon one third or two thirds of the way down the frame is somehow more pleasing to the eye than halfway.

Lovely detail in these images Ian. I like the foreground interest in No1.
I tend to use a centred horizon as a starting thought for a reflection shot, pending on any water movement or sky detail.
Have you considered a panoramic format for 2-4? It sometimes removes some negative space, (unless that is also your intention), whilst concentrating the eye to remain on the detail and your intended points of focus. The bonus of a panoramic is that the format can be fluid to suit the subject, rather than a regulated 4x3 or 3x2...
Just my thoughts, they are great images regardless.
