The weather forecast is looking good , warm and sunny so an early start needed to get up the m6 .
Arriving at the Rannerdale car park, which is full and continued to the second , Yes you guessed Full! one more area left and I managed to squeeze in the last spot. Right opposite Crummock water and Look at the reflections, fabulous. I get the drone up immediately to get some shots before the breeze ripples the surface.
9 frame panorama , auto mode .Rannerdale Knot on left in deep shade , High stile, Stirling Dodd and Mellbreak opposite me with great reflections.
Looking down the lake towards Darling Fell and Fellbarrow. Loweswater is just hidden to the left of the small mountains .
Now time to see the Bluebells, its a short walk from here across to the valley.
Looking back towards Crummock water.
I am at the head of Rannerdale valley now, Buttermere is just visible.
This is a six vertical frame panorama shot with canon 5dsr and 17-40L lens, a 0.6 soft nd grad to hold back the exposure on the sky.
Mollster is with me also.
Walking up into the Bluebells, all the paths are roped off now to prevent people trampling the flowers , which unfortunately still happens.
Close up on the tree with 100-400 lens
A two frame panorama , showing the path I have just walked down , having made my way down to the edge of the stream to get this composition.
I waited for the sun to break through the light cloud to illuminate the hawthorn blossom , with the shade behind giving good contrast.
Dale Head cairn, what a stunner it is .
The drone is up , but Mollster doesn't seem interested.
That's better Mol
