- Autumn Colours at the LAKE DISTRICT - Too late or too early? I photograph autumn colours at Loughrigg Tarn & Rydal Water
It was a last minute decision to fly up to the Lakes Yesterday (18th Oct) to capture the lovely colours we expect to find this time of year.
Photographing autumnal colours can be harder than you think!. The location itself can be quite a challenge. More often than not, as is the case with most of the Lakes, the trees are mainly ever-greens. Your timing has to be spot-on too. Too early and the leaves won't display the rich colours we want. Too late and you're in danger of a single day of bad weather stripping the trees of all their beauty!
I can't say I was a little disappointed but the colours weren't just rich enough for me. Maybe I should have left it for another week? Having said that some of the trees already looked to dropping their leaves. The weather forecast for next week looks less than favourable too. Maybe this was the only chance I had?
No matter what, I'm fairly happy with the outcome. A few nice shots I suppose.
The ray of light to come from this trip for me was just how gorgeous Rydal Water was. I turned up just as the sun was setting. I hadn't planned on visiting that particular area but I am so glad I did. I fully intend to revisit Rydal and I'll probably stay over and capture a sunset and sunrise!
THANK YOU
Gary

Snapshots..! Most of us are watching because your vlogs convey the feelings and the emotions of being out taking photographs, the highs and lows and getting home absolutely knackered. Well done Gary weekly vlog’s are hard work especially organising around work.
Thank you Julian. Yep, it's a little stressful all right :)
Stunning Grumpy, absolutely stunning
None taken Steve lol 😁😁😁 Cheers
Me too, I have stood at the bottom of some of the Mountains in The Lake District and yes amazed at the walls going straight up, Amazing. Awesome location. Very interesting video Gary. Well done.
Cheers Gary, very kind 👍👍
Very nice vlog and what an absolutely beautiful location, especially with all the beautiful fall colours. And what an awesome pictures.
Thanks for saying Marcel, very kind 👍👍
I'd be happy with your snapshots any day.
Great little vlog
Many thanks
John
john graham cheers John, very kind
Merci Gary, un super moment à Lake District, et comme toujours, des photos fantastiques, bravo !
You must be one of the best happy snappers in West Yorkshire.Great shots Gary inspiring us all
Thank you Malcolm, very kind of you to say 👍👍
What a beautiful planet we have got to live in. Let's keep it that way. Some really peaceful shots there Gary.
Very nice autumn shots, this time of the year is great for photography.
Thank you 👍
Gary, I watch your videos partly because of the Lake District location. My parents, in their youth, were members of a hiking club, spending many hours hiking in the Lakes. I've been several times so it's quite nostalgic for me. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Enjoyable to watch Gary and great to see your enthusiasm, thanks
Thank you Trevor 👍👍
Great video content. It is so refreshing to see that even you can get disappointing light, but some lovely shots for all that, and time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted. Tell your wife not to worry about a lack of make-up, her cheery smile and wave were great. She added a nice touch to your video.
Thank you, Wendy, 👍 I just passed on your comment, she's smiling. Aha, it must be compliments that makes her smile, who knew? lol Thank you 😁😁
Great idea to take a look at Loughrigg Tarn Garry thanks for sharing. That fence in the water composition looks great and your shots as well. Great little Car Park hidden away there to. So easy to pass over these spots..
Yeah, it's a fab place. Cheers Alex 👍👍
Honest vlogs with no pretence, what else could you ask for. I for one look forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you Steve, very kind 👍
I always enjoy your videos Gary. Looked like a great way to enjoy the outdoors with your wife. And go back there soon. Cheers!
Thank you John 👍👍
You get so enthusiastic about your trips and the results you post are fantastic, i wish my snaps could become that good. Well done Gary.
To Autumn; season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. It's Spring here; season of singlets and sandles. Looking forward to your future shots of rich colours in those leaves. Top vlog, as always.
Mike in Oz
Great spot Gary, to far for me from Tassie, nice shats but how great they will be with good light.
All the best.................peter.
Thank you Peter 👍
Hi Gary , I am glad its not just me that thought about those walls going up the side of mountains !!! Welcome to Mrs Gough on the channel.
Nice vlog Gary! Your enthousiasm for landscape photography is fun to watch. Those 'snapshots' look lovely. Kind regards! Ron.
Thank you Ron 👍
Nothing wrong with the Loughrigg snapshots M8... Bootiful !
Thank you Norman 👍👍
Cracking video as always, looking forward to seeing your return to these stunning locations 👍
Cheers Shane 👍👍
Some nice images Gary and of course a great vlog. Success or not, keep them coming!
Will do. Thank you Barry 👍
Great vlog as always Gary, I always enjoy your videos whatever the content so I'm glad you will be doing more.
Cheers Phil 👍👍
You came away with some amazing images from some stunning locations. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Nice vlog Gary. I think it is important for people to see the successful trips and unsuccessful ones for us to all know that landscape photographers don’t have all the luck. Many of us are amateurs that don’t get much time to go out and it would be easy to get disheartened if we don’t get good shots every time. Thanks
Thank you Marc 👍
Thanks Gary, glad to see you return to the lake boathouse again. That you may be past peak foliage, no matter, Mother Nature left you some nice muted colors anyway! It is what it is... Looking forward to those other places you scouted out for future landscape shots. We are a couple weeks past peak up here in n. central Vermont but the beech & poplars are still holding their golden leaves... Nice to briefly see your better half too! Cheers... :-) B.
I think you might be right re my timing. Cheers Bill.
Cracking video as usual Gary. I'm glad you managed to escape the crowds that were at the beginning of the video 😁
Looking forward to seeing the next video of Loughrigg Tarn! 👍
Another great Vlog. I agree with the last post, I would be very happy with your snapshots. Sometimes I come away from a shoot, thinking I haven’t really got anything, then I am pleasantly surprised when I see them on the big screen.
brilliant vlog gary, you took some awesome images there but love to see your return and get the stunners when the autumn really kicks in
I'm off to Skye and Lewis & Harris for a couple of weeks, it might have to be a wintery shot next :)
I would have been happy with the last shoot with the oranges reflecting on the water. Its a bit hit and miss this time of the year trying to get the change in colours and the light as we would like. As alway great blog thanks
Thank you 👍👍
I was In the lakes for a week in July. Was bit surreal watching you at Loughrigg Tarn as was at that very spot for sunrise and was magic having the place to myself and just taking in the surroundings. Good thing is as you’ve discovered you’ve got a campsite right beside the tarn. Loved the images you captured from the day Gary and nice to see the autumnal colours
Hi Gary , another lovely video,when you mentioned about the wall following the incline, I have often thought the same and how hard it would be to build a wall like that, imagine digging the footing with no digger, these wall are all the summits in North Wales also,very interesting,
Thanks
Serge
Hail or snow warts and all and I'm sure they will still be enjoyable to watch Gary. What you call snapshots I call keepers lol. Loughrigg looks fantastic, definitely one to add to the list
Great stuff! Love the shots and the commentary. Keep them coming. And as always, be well.
Brilliant! Liking that you are going to post more shots, even if just to show all that we see you are not nailing super spectacular shots all the time as we are lead to believe. Great vid as usual.
Thank you Dave 👍
I meant to mention on one of your earlier vlogs. If I remember (I may have it wrong) but you live in or near Elland? Just to say that grew up in Holywell Green and Stainland. Not very interesting I know.
Great vlog Gary, glad u decided to post in future even if not fantastic! Always enjoy watching you and love the shots. I am surrounded by steep valley hills and mountains further on but too steep to climb. Very similar to Lake district but here in northern Italy covered in vineyards. You are so lucky to be able to walk in the countryside. Looking forward to seeing more of Loughrigg. Ciao
Send some clouds and autumn to me here in Los Angeles please. Always love watching your videos. yeah more vlogs
Great channel, I'm glad I've found it
nice stuff Gary, looking forward to more. Greetings from Berlin.
Great vlog Gary....enjoy the new approach and I can see you going to get some great images from that discovery!
Great vlog as always Gary 👍 as for the walls being built I've always wondered and in awe of those who built them and from being told by a historian minded friend if you could afford to build the wall what ever was inside your wall was your property,,mind blowing the scale of some of them,,,any ways keep up the good work really enjoy your channel 👌
Good stuff as usual Gary! I think your thought of more vlogs even if you don't get a "Great" picture is welcome as it shows that you can't expect awesome pics aren't there everytime you go out.
Yes, dead Gary, post more, it's more real for the rest of us. Gives us hope! Haha
lol will do Paul. Cheers 👍
already looking forward to more content. think you got some nice shots there as well
Very glad you decided to release this one. You quite right about Loughrigg being rather special, and I'm really looking forward to your return trip! 👍
Aha it's Mr D Griff :) Cheers for saying Dave, very kind Sir. 👍👍
Hi Gary
Are you joking, snap shots indeed god I wish I could take photos like that.
Just great photos as per normal from you.
Yes more vlogs please.
Good vlog Gary and some excellent pictures. I am lucky to live in Ambleside so this area is my backdrop. Everything is a little late this year but I am hopeful with good weather expected next week there will some great opportunities.
Great vlog Gary, it made me want to be there. love the wifey joke lol. Can not wait to see the next time your there.
Hello gazza ! Loving your vlogs ! Need to see you tackle some more waterfalls pls. Cheers.
Plenty coming up 👍
Really enjoying your videos Gary. Getting the best Autumn colours really is tricky, it varies so much depending where one is in the country. PS I think I'm with you on the drystone walls which cross these landscapes, guessing folks had way more time on their hands back in the day and their sheep were valuable to them so they couldn't afford to risk them wandering off. Your love of what you do really comes across in your videos, this makes a big difference as far as I'm concerned, Thomas Heaton has the same honest content. Good on you, take it easy. cheers.
This is wonderful! I am so glad that you have decided to do more of these vlogs. I really enjoy the fact that what you experience as a photographer is what many of us experience as well: joy, disappointment, excitement, curiousity, appreciation and the never ending search. I really look forward to the next ones!
Thank you Janice 👍
Nice vlog and images, Gary!
Great viewing again.
Great video, Gary, and those final half dozen or so images were awesome.
Hello from Thailand, I'm new to your channel and I loved it! Thank you for an interesting vlog
Thank you and welcome
Stunning vlog Gary, 💪
Excellent Gary you should give yourself more credit for your snaps. First class 👍
I was in the lake district for the first time last week, and what a week it was!! We stayed in Ambleside and spend the whole week running around to different locations, so much to se and so littel time. But we managed to get some pictures. The first afternoon we went to Loughrigg Tarn and got some great pictures.
Have a wonderful Week end
Roffe
Enormous Gary, great video.
The wife looking after your gear? just kidding. Its good to see you having fun.
Ha...your snapshots are better than my best efforts. Really enjoy the videos!
Hi Gary. It's the annual dilemma isn't it? I find myself doing more scouting missions at this time of year to try and get the timing right. I've just had a weekend in Snowdonia and the colours weren't quite fully turned (still great though!) but here in South Wales it's bang on. What a great place Loughrigg Tarn looks. Can't wait to see your video from there. I'll definitely be visiting when I'm back in the Lakes. Love the clip with your wife - made I larf !! Many thanks for sharing Gary.
Cheers Tim :)
I do get jealous of you guys who are a short drive from places such as the Lake District. It's a full day's drive from down here on the south coast! But I am always inspired by your vlogs, and this has given me ideas for when we *do* get a chance to revisit the area again.
Great to see that you are going to vlog regardless of how good or bad the day turns out because I think it's really important to get the message across that we all have bad days. I really like the way that you process your images to get that 'punchy' contrast without going over the top. See you on Tuesday!
Enjoyable vlog, look forward to your posting more often.
great vlog gary, i wouldn't call them snapshots they look brill to me. yeah i have often wondered who built them impossible walls, defo not the job i would apply for.
I like the philosophy of 'good or not, let's show it'. As you say it's more realistic, and really shows process, not just product. We all try, fail, succeed, fail again...get something but not the spectacular thing we'd have really liked to get..etc. In a way, that's why we do it - it isn't easy. If you can show that in your work then relative beginners like me can see there's hope for all of us. Again, very enjoyable vlog.
Gary, images worth to get out ..... Good job.
Thank you 👍👍
We always look forward to your Vlogs Gary - "Gazza has posted another Vlog". My husband and i broadcast this one to our big tele whilst enjoying a cosy breakfast and loved the fact that you shared so much scenery for us - we live a long way from the lakes. You are an honest photographer and us enthusiasts can relate to your disappointments and triumphs. Thanks for the hard work you put in Gary.
It's comments like yours Julie that just make it all so worthwhile. Thank you very much. Big Telly? you'll just make my belly look bigger 😊😂🤣
Some very nice shots there Gary . Another place I'd love to go soon
Great blog. Love that you are so natural, hello to your better half. It’s good to see the super fit in awesome locations, but far better to see the local stuff you shoot which I might cope with, far more inspirational just because you make it seem achievable.
Oh thank you Deborah, very kind of you to say :)
We’re going to bump into each on day Gary. I discovered Loughrigg Tarn for the first time also last Saturday. Beautiful place and well worth spending a good few hours there. The reeds, reflections and backdrop of the Langdale Pikes are excellent. The setting sun just lit up the place wonderfully on Saturday. Loving the trueness and reality of your style here Gary. 👍👍
Snapshots my a***e!! They are lovely images and show the tarn off beautifully. Nice to hear your going to be putting more content out good or bad. Look forward to your bad content to give me sometime to aspire to!!
Really enjoys this blog. Great to see more down to earth honest stuff. You showed some stunning locations even though you didn't bag the money shot you still got some nice images and now have plans to re visit. Isn't this the foundation to getting the shot finding and discovering locations and getting lots of test shots in preparation for that time the elements and conditions line up for THE SHOT. Looking forward to more like this.
ATB Steve
Hi Steve, Yep, it's all of that. Plus it's just great to get out there :)
"Haven't nailed anything spectacular"???????? Loved the last photo of the first location and all of the second location!!! Hello Mrs. Gough!
Thank you, She said hi back :)
I love your "snapshots" ... keep em comin Gary
Will do, thank you as always 👍
Honesty vlog!! I like when people put out stuff they aren't fully happy with, shows we aren't all perfect. Plus seriously who would carry stone up that hill. Maybe it's gentle at another side? Horse drawn cart and carry the stones down?
Never thought of that, lateral thinking :) Cheers 👍👍
@@GaryGough lazy man thinking!!!
Wadger Catcher lol
Great vlog Gary, very real and like others, your snapshots looked pretty darn good to me. I visited Loughrigg Tarn last year and it was grey, flat light but the potential was still clear to see. It is on my list of site to revisit too. Hello Mrs Gary!
Nice video!
Thank you 👍
Wow!! wish my 'photographs' were half as good as your snap shots Gary, great video.. Also loved the music at 04:20 & 08:50 "Beauty in the Mundane" by "Bird of Figment" the only song you didnt credit! Thank goodness for Shazam ;)
Looking forward to your more regular vlogs.
You shouldn't be so tough on yourself- these are still great images. I love the Lake District and agree it's a great feeling when you discover somewhere new. I'm also amazed at the straight walls - didn't they know sheep can jump! Great to hear you're thinking of posting more vlogs, good or bad. Hope the wife is up for more walking!
The Tarn location looks stunning, I would be delighted if I'd taken shots like your "snapshots".
Looking forward to you revisiting the Tarn and seeing how things turn out.
Thanks Gary.
Would settle for those snaps buddy!
Great video Gary, I truly hope you post every week. Here in Missouri we are still waiting for fall to peak. I went out this morning and really had a good time just enjoying the fresh air and quiet. I tried to take a few shots, but nothing came out the way I hoped. It’s good to have a reason (photography) to get outside in the fall (or Autumn). I enjoy all of your videos, so please post them all. Have an awesome day buddy. It was good to see your wife with you.
Cheers Steve. Only took her along to measure her up for potential burial sites :) Damn, did I just say that out loud 🤣😁😃😊
Gutted i did not visit the tarn last week when i visited Rydal and climbed Loughrigg fell. Still gives me something to look forward to next time. Great to Mrs G in the video, wondered who was doing the B Roll for you lol. Well done paula :) Great shots as usual, even if only snapshots :P
The wall! Wtf! Unreal. I like the look of this place Gary! Really enjoyed the video and hello to the wife 😄
Cheers Mali. Very kind as always 👍👍👍👍
Looks like you have some good colours there, Gary. Some lovely photos too. Over here (Isle of Man) there isn't too much colour. The trees are either still green or lost their leaves completely. I was looking forward to getting out and getting some autumnal photos this year, but not found a location worthy yet.
I think it's pretty much the same here too. It might be due to the long hot summer we had? Fancy complaining about that :)
@@GaryGough ha ha, yes I though the same thing. How dare we have such a good summer 😁
I would be happy with any of your "snap shots" Gary, that last shot of the tarn is beautiful. Thanks
Mrs. Gough has point, maybe you should get her to do your makeup before a vlog? Great vlog as always, disappointment or not.
Cheers Howard
Hi Gary I enjoyed your video, I was up at Loughrigg Fell on the same day for the dawn, however I drove 2 hours to Wast Water for the sunset and glad I made that silly road trip! :)
Oh good stuff Robin. Those passes are a nightmare :)
love this vlog as to me its real buddy
I will enjoy seeing any of your vlogs Gary. I am off to the Lake District soon and your vlogs inspire me and show me what to look for. I feel I cant see the wood for the trees sometimes. Nice to see your wife. I am that person too- no make-up - no photo. 😄😀←
lol If anyone could do with makeup it's me :) Thank you for watching as always
Beautiful images, great composition and the excellent post processing just brings out the magic, as always stunning shots Gary - thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I personally don't add anything to your business but I really enjoy sharing your journey. thank you
Thank you Ian. Being here as part of the group is good enough for me. Cheers 👍
I jealous of you lucky sod, that you can pop across to the Lake District in a spare half a day; it would take me long just to drive up there!! :-( I guess you didn't have time to pop into the Badger Bar in Rydal for a swift one and a bite to eat!! Too early in terms of great autumn colours I think, but it's a great location at anytime of the year. Either way, yet more great images.
Keeping it real Gary..love it...sort of makes you stand out from the other vloggers... i think your to early for the colours of Autumn ,mind you i'm in the southern hemisphere halfway through spring so what would i know about your conditions :) cheers.
Thank you William, very kind 👍👍
Good morning Gary, I see your point about Rydal but your Loughrigg shots are lovely, its a beautiful spot and there's also great shots available from up on Loughrigg fell (behind the yellow tree). I've tagged you on one of my shots from Loughrigg, I hope you like it, see you soon Del.
Cheers Del. Loghrigg itself is on the list :)
👍😃
Gary, I think your panorama shot was pretty darn good. Give it a week and take a look at it again and you may feel differently.
