      @StephenCree Před 6 lety +5

      I was going to leave a comment mentioning that either you had a very tiny head or Thom's is absolutely massive! I've been on a workshop with you, Simon, so I know your bonce is standard. I can only conclude TH's head is the size of a water melon :) Great video, by the way. We should visit the Lakes more often...

    travelled 3 times to the lake district, did the skiddaw, scafell pike true honnister pass but my favorite was the hay stacks. Used the Wainwright guide book great and nise souvernire. Stayed at the Pepper family in Keswick. Great hiking depending on the wheather.

    Another great episode of the new series and maybe a feature to repeat as its very enjoyable hearing the views of accomplished and inspiring photographers. I vote for Mr Johnson next :)

  • @ryanstark2350
    @ryanstark2350 Před 6 lety

    I live near the Lake District. The area directly west of Keswick is good. North West of Cat Bells which is always mobbed with people because Cat Bells is easy to get to. Also near Keswick to the east is Castlerigg stone circle which makes for a great foreground subject but this place is also often mobbed so you have to wait for a space in the crowds. The Lake District can be very dreary weather and end up no good for photos but when the weather is right, it's a photographer's dream.
    Also near the Lake District is the Solway Firth. Quite a bleak location but often there are spectacular skies and great sunsets.

    Great vlog Tom & how cool to see Simon , what a double act- you 2 are great. Love these 'Photographer's View' vids, so valuable :) Hope you do a few more. Absolutely adore Keswick & the Borrowdale valley, breathtaking views. Although, ALL of The Lake District is, very special place :)

  • @ChrisSalePhoto
    @ChrisSalePhoto Před 6 lety

    Loved it guys. I'm lucky enough to live on the eastern edge of the Lake District and get to photograph it every weekend but you mentioned a couple of locations that even I didn't know about and need to check out so thanks for that. I'll shall try to get to the show in May, it'll be a good opportunity to meet up with a few of my CZcams buddies.

  • @R17D5D
    @R17D5D Před 6 lety

    I’m really liking these A Photographer’s View videos. My biggest regret about moving back to Canada from the UK last year was that I never got to see the Lake District. I was in Guildford and never had the opportunity to make it up north. One day I’ll return, and thanks to you guys I know where I’ll head to now.
    At least for the moment I have Banff National Park here in Alberta to satisfy my landscape photography needs - Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, kananaskis country, etc.
    Thomas, have you ever thought about coming to Canada for landscape photography? I think you would enjoy the scenery.
    Please keep these videos up. They are terrific.
    Cheers.

    From memory legal wild camping is limited to no more than three nights in the same place,100 meters from any main road and you must leave no trace that you were there.
    I'm off to the Lake District starting early July for a week and a half.Not ideal I know,but it's the only time I can go this year.
    Oddly enough the place I'm most looking forward to seeing and photographing is the valley seen looking North from Dale Head that is immediately to the West of the one you're talking about.Maybe I'll get both done on the same day,if not it's not too far from where I'm staying near to Ambleside.
