View over Derwentwater rowing boats to Catbells

This is a alternative view to an earlier blog post, taking in the rowing boats and pier at the Keswick end of Derwentwater and looking across to Catbells on the horizon. Rather than choosing the more obvious landscape orientation, I chose portrait to give the moody sky a lot of space - it's another day of heavy clouds, but the sun's fighting to break through in the distance, silhouetting the mountains and just managing to light up the lake surface a little.

In Lightroom I used a graduated filter to reduce exposure in the sky, then I increased overall exposure and contrast slightly.
