A Wonderful Morning for Landscape Photography | Great Light = Great Photos

A beautiful sunrise on a clear morning in the hills above the Haweswater Reservoir help me to get my best photos of 2021 so far.
After a long cold winter, spring has finally arrived in the Lake District and I am making the most of things. I've been making an effort to get up early and hike up into the hills in order to get the best light as the sun peaks above the horizon.
This week I am in the hills above the Haweswater Reservoir in the far eastern Lake District to get some shots of the Haweswater Dam that was built in order to flood the Mardale Valley.
Light is so important in setting the mood in a photo and in this video I explain why I have recently started to experiment with blown out skies. I also share how I use the OS Maps to find new locations and what I look for when putting together a photograph.
