Bassenthwaite Lake

[Ken Rennie]

An image from Nov 2015. Bassenthwaite is the only Lake in the Lake District all the others are Meres, Waters or Tarns. Standing in the shallows waiting for the sun to appear and hoping that the mist will thicken a little. Unfortunately it thickened a lot and the visibility collapsed to a few yards. Comments welcome Ken

I like the patchy light on the foreground grasses - you did get a nice mood out of the mist you had as of when you shot this even if the mist didn't cooperate for what you had in mind.

I like this.
Beautiful light.

I don't know what type of shot you were actually envisioning, but this result is spectacular IMHO. I would love to have a few 'failed outings' like this

The mood with the mist mixing into the bright horizon is captivating, and the foreground detail and placement make for a very well thought out scene. I absolutely love this shot.

Hey Ken, even if the mist thickened too much later on, this is sure a very nice treat you captured. I am liking this a lot too.

And that's a funny fact that in the Lake district there is really only 1 true lake.

Another beautiful shot Ken!
