Lowther Estate, Cumbria, Autumn
Autumn’s definitely here. You know what’s also here? The Great British Changeable Weather.
I took an educated guess at the weather today and decided our best bet for good light and conditions would be East Lake District/Cumbria during mid-morning/early afternoon. So! We ventured to the Lowther Castle and its Estate, for a healthy jaunt from the castle grounds to Askham Fell and back round.
Driving to Lowther was… interesting. It involves taking the A6 up and over Shap Fell, whereupon we were greeted with a thickness of fog that a Live Music Stage FX Producer would be proud of. Once we arrived at Lowther, the cloud base was starting to lift and the sun made various attempts to breakthrough.
Thankfully, as we hiked up Askham Fell, and back down through Helton, the cloud cover truly lifted and we enjoyed glorious autumnal scenes.
All photos taken on my Fujifilm X-T2 using my Samyang 35mm f/1.2 lens. If you’re wondering why the right hand side of my photos appears constantly out of focus, it’s because I think there’s a broken element in my lens. Damn.
