Hello,

I hope that you have had a good week.

Today i wanted to share a quick comparison.

The above images were taken litteraly two weeks apart. On both occasions i was very lucky on the weather front.

If you have not yet been, i strongly recommend a trip up Helm Crag in the Lake district.

Out of all the hikes there, this is regarded as one of the easiest.

Even with all your camera and camping kit.

Hope that you have a good weekend.

A cold trip to Helvellyn.

Nikon D800 f8 1.5seconds ISO100 with various flash bursts around the scene.

 

Last week i headed out to try and take some pics up Helvellyn in the lakes. I was losing light as i didn't plan on the amount of weight i carried would slow me down so much, and so i pitched up here rather then planned for the evening. 

I awoke at 3am and the place was covered in snow. At first light there was an absolute white out, and was very thankful for carrying a GPS with me as navigating would of been near on impossible in zero visibility. 

So photo wise it was a failure but a good heavy load carry is a well received for a bit of Phys after the indulgent new year.
