REFLECTION FRUSTRATION! - Landscape Photography at Wastwater 

Wonderful scenery with the snow👍

Always enjoy a good waffle. I find it's always worthwhile taking a shot you don't think will work. To many times it turns out better than you one you thought was a guaranteed stoater... plus you always learn something.

what a beautiful corner of the world, thank you for sharing !

What stunning views Stuart! Your shot at 4:20 is awesome. An absolute pleasure to watch this video.

Hi Stuart, such an enjoyable watch as ever. Completely agree about enjoying photography. As a hobby l find it just adds to my love of the countryside. Cracking images as ever. Cheers.

Enjoyed the video. The light in the last shot was beautiful!

Haha! Never knock the 10-stop! I think they looked good, especially the last one with the posts in the sun. But then I’ve always been a sucker for a long exposure shot. Looking forward to more about the gallery and business side of things too.

Hi Stuart, great images and really enjoy your vlogs, look forward to seeing your next vlog.

Another belter Stuart. Thank you. Looking fwd to the newsletter - sounds good 😊

Certainly beats sitting behind a desk Stuart, I will swap you...lol, nice vlog again & look forward to your newsletter

Hi Stuart! Amazing work and a absolute Dream,the Lakedistrict! (I am from Austria.)

Cheers Stuart, brightens my day up watching your content 👍 Maybe look forward to a workshop later on this!?

An enjoyable watch as always Stu and a mountain, lake and fence shot isn't boring if you don't have them nearby :-)

Nice images and nice to meet you at Wastwater tother day.

stunning scenery! I'd love to visit the lake district someday. great video Stuart!

Yeah I feel your pain...must be frustrating looking at those views 😉 Looked a great day out mate and a welcome change from the books!

Sort of... nice!

Lovely video. Nice to see a different view from that lake. Keep up the good work :)

Thoroughly enjoyed this Stuart even as much as the last one but for totally different reasons. Not going to jump down your throat as we have had some snow - just not in my local area and too far to travel under lockdown which is just typical !! Anyway enjoyed this for the no nonsense straight forward talking - I’ve been out many a time , enjoyed the outdoors and taken some lovely records of the trip, images I’m happy to print and hang on my walls so totally agree with you 💯 Great film and I’ll sign up for a bit of that art that is the written word !

Shoot for you Stuart! Great insight as ever and I wish I could get close to taking a pic as good as your "couple of average shots"

Lovely views and always a good watch. So jealous you’ve got all that on your doorstep 😂

Great to see some stunning locations :) I am having to make do with 10 mile hikes around Barnsley to try and find something photogenic ;) I have found the odd gem to be fair and am praying for some more snow and mist so I can revisit a few of them.

I think we've all been there, Stuart, so you're doing a great job of making us all feel better, in that we're all human and we all make mistakes. Like you, I tend to be more of a reactionary landscape photographer, but I wish I just instinctively knew what location, local to me, to rock up to and shoot when the prevailing conditions are either this, that or the other. It's one of those skills I lack and I wonder how I will ever learn them, especially as I don't have very much spare time in which to enjoy my photography. I think that's why, when I see the weather is predicted to be like this, I rarely go off and shoot, because I don't know where I should be heading to, to make the best out of the conditions. I just can't motivate myself to go out and find a spot, as I suppose I foresee myself driving around aimlessly and by the time I stop somewhere the moment has passed, or I've chosen the wrong place to stop. The question is, how do I get past this obstacle?

Excellent, was wondering what locations are like further up the lake! Great shots especially the fence one 👍👍👍

The Lakes really do have a certain look during winter with that low hanging sun ... beautiful and as you say not a bad spot to stand and have a gander ....

Nice one Stuart - cheers

I can't see Scafell Pike now without thinking about our gentle stroll up that way ending at 1am and a lost hoodie! 😂 Great to have that on your doorstep, especially at the moment. Like those crisp conditions

Lovely images Stuart - all of them - even the 10 stopper! You are so lucky to live so close to a stunning location like this :) Stay well sir

My favourite lake Stuart, which I only get the opportunity to visit occasionally. You’re so lucky to have it close to you. What a cracking day. I loved the back lighting on The Screes. Did you take a look with the long lens? Scafells looked superb in he snow 😊

Refreshing cheery vlog in beautiful Wastwater. I like the honest way you are happy to feature your “ rookie errors” , it’s a great way to teach I think. And I totally agree with your unpretentious “ photograph what works for you” advice.

Conditions are ok when you live there mate and you get the week to go out. When you only get a weekend and the weather is what it is you don't get to pick. Plus we can't drive anywhere at the moment so it looks like your lucky that way as well driving ten minutes to get to that amazing place lol

Like that viewpoint Stuart from that end of the lake, nice bit of colour rewarded you at the end .Definitely agree about photo snobs and gear snobs . Cheers Rich

Long time since I've been up to Wastwater. I have booked 2 trips up to the Lakes so very tempted to drive over that way. I never seem to get still water in any lake :-(

Your camera on the tripod out in the middle of the water made me a bit giddy! Perhaps I'm not brave enough to get the shot! Another fab video and great images, as always

Nice images Stuart and it looks like you had a couple fab days weather wise. You're right about photo snobs. I'd say two things - Firstly you should take photographs for yourself, that you enjoy. Secondly, Joe public like photographs that mean something to them such as "ah yes that reminds me of my visit to Wast Water". They are not interested in the technical side or if the location has been done to death. Will check out your newsletter. Cheers.

another cracking video Stuart, those a fantastic shots, especially the last shot where those pink shone through, looking forward to the news letters :)

Another cracking vlog mate, makes me wish I was up home watching it though! Completely agree about 'photography snobbery' as well, shoot what makes you happy! All the best,

Nice one Stuart 🙌🏼 A good introduction to a part of the lake I've lazily not explored, thank you 😊

Stunning views, vlogs just keep getting better Stuart. Lee or KASE filters?

Beautiful colors in this opening drone footage. Was this straight out of the dji pocket 2 or Air2? Or did post help? I’m in the market for a simple drone so just wondering/recommendations for a new user. Oh, and looking forward to the newsletter.

I hope you had your wellies on Stuart. That was worrying me more than the light. :-)

What camera gear are you ust
