Boats moored on Morecambe Bay at Walney Island.

This is the north-western point of Morecambe Bay, at Barrow-in-Furness, looking across to Walney Island. We stayed there overnight in June this year after my son ran a fell race at the nearby Duddon valley. I took this photo early Sunday morning, before anyone was really up and about - I like how peaceful and still the water and boats are.

Camera/lens settings: ISO 100, f/8, 1/250s, 35mm, hand held.

Path curving through a field to a line of trees on the horizon

This is very close to Malham Tarn - I took the photo in August this year. I love the simplicity of the tree line, the curve of the path and the one little tree standing on its own at the end. This photo is just cropped down from a 3:2 ratio landscape shot; I'd really like to get a true panorama of the same scene one day - using a tripod and merging a number of portrait shots (a more dramatic sky would help too!).

Camera/lens settings: ISO 200, f/11, 1/160s, 29mm, hand held.

Buttermere panorama

We were almost at the end of a walk around Buttermere last week when I decided to have a go at creating this panorama. I was admiring how the patches of light were hitting the surrounding fields and fells, but individual photos really didn't manage to capture it. I've never tried creating a panorama without a tripod before, but thought it worth a go. This is the result of merging 10 separate portrait images in Photoshop via Lightroom.

Camera/lens settings: ISO 400, f/11, 1/200s, 55mm, hand held.
