- Landscape Photography | The Blue Hour, it's the best time isn't it?
This week I visited one of my favorite places for landscape photography, Honister in the Lake District. Photographing Lake Buttermere is a must for any local/ish photographer!
It's the second time I've photographed there during the "Blue Hour".
I don't know why I seem to gravitate to Buttermere for the after dark pictures. Maybe it's because of it's geographic settings. It's surrounded by mountains, and because of this, it's not really a place suited to photograph during a sunrise or sunset. Having said that though, I had the most amazing sunset.
I make at least one video a week, and I've some amazing locations penned. Please make it worth my while and support the channel.

and another subscriber from Canada. Great photos, Gary. I love the black and white with the little puddle. It's a winner.
D X - it's pretty special when somebody that lives in such a picturesque place likes your photos. Thanks
I think I found my new favorite landscape photographer. Absolutely beautiful shots Gary.
Cheers Jan. That's a cracking compliment. Very kind
It has been proven that Gary is the greatest name in the world. Ha! Nice presentation. I am a published bird photographer from across the pond. Decided to dive into landscapes full force. Learning a lot from Thomas Heaton and now you!! Got myself a nice Lee set and working on adding more filters when I get paid again lol God bless you and take care!!
How about a 15 foot tree washed up on beach lol. Took two of us to stand it up and get balanced, and yes we did put it back when finished. Love the 2nd to last image most, one sweet shot.
lol Love it :) Cheers
subscribed! Landscape photography requires patience waiting for that perfect timing; only way you could get the best images! I used to just shoot whats in there for me; I should also try putting other props like what you did on the tree branch! Cool video.
Thanks for say, very kind. 👍👍
Yep, I subscribed your channel too. You explain very well without taking yourself too seriously!! Winner!

Great Video Gary! Another subscriber here, I love shooting the Blue Hour, it's amazing how a scene can change so much in just a few minutes, thats why never go home straight after sunset!

Splendid vlog Gary..love it. That place is now on my bucket list. Thanks
Kevin Elias - hi Kevin. It's a lovely place, you'll love it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Good stuff. Was a Buttermere about two weeks before you posted this. A fabulous place. Have subbed and will check out your other vids.
Just found your site. Did subscribe. Like the presentation too. From other side of the pond, San Diego, California. Keep up the great videos.
First video of yours I've seen Gary. Brilliant. Great shots and so very well put together. Off to watch a few more of yours. Keep it going!
Hi Andrew, thanks a million and thanks for the Sub.

You transmit great passion and cheer. and I love the blue hour shots, as I usually do myself.
Keep on going!
Danny Ryan - hi Danny, Thanks for saying and thanks for taking time out to comment.
nice capture's Gary, one of my fave fells Haystacks / Fleetwith Pike, Thank you, ATB Kenny.
Another great video Gary. Incidentally, putting that log in the water is not cheating it is using artistic licence!
Cheers George
Gary,
As a fellow Photog across the pond, I stumbled across this vid as I was looking for blue hour inspired videos. I like your demeanor and your enthusiasm. You're a credit to our profession. Keep up the great work. I gave this vid a like and I also subscribed. Shoot early and shoot often.

Consider yourself added to my Christmas Card list 👍 Cheers Gil. Very kind of you to take time out to watch and comment. It means the world to me. Thank you 👍
Love it I'm off there in a week on Saturday
Sonof joe - you won't be disappointed :)
Lovely photos .I am a massive hill walker and I am just about to buy a Fuji XT2 to try landscape photography. Your photographs look fantastic so I am going to subscribe to your channel to get some tips. I cannot count the times I have seen magnificent sunrises and sunsets from very remote camping spots. About time I tried to capture those moments.
I think that's a Great idea. Love the long exposure with the sharp sky.
Cheers again Allan 👍
Stunning scenery and some amazing images! Very inspirational! Thanks
Cheers Phil, you're very kind 👍🏻
Beautiful. Makes me want to spend time there. Job well done.
Cheers Steve. It's definitely worth a visit.
I love the composition in these photos. Simply beautiful, and the colors are fantastic. Thanks for sharing with us.
Forgot to mention. Your work is beautiful.

Very kind Andy, thanks

John Carpenter - Cheers John 👍🏿
Hi Gary, great video :) I also love to shoot the blue hour most of my images are from that time. I photograph city's with London being my main place to shoot. My favorite image you took here was at about 8.46. I look forward to seeing more from you.
Hi Jonathan, Very kind thanks. More on the way
Truly inspiring again Gary well done.
Thank you
Gary, "Blue Hour" is the best ....Good job, I enjoyed your video
Libor K - Cheers :)
Hi Gary. There are a couple of spots in this video that the sound goes missing. We like listening to you :)
you are lucky to be in england , landscape is amazing .. greetings from Jordan
Moeen Mostafa - thank you. We are very spoilt but I'm sure you must have some amazing landscapes too?
Great tutorial again Gary enjoying you Chanel very much 👍
This is the first video I saw from your channel. Love it, because with landscape I started my photography journey. Still love it, so many beautifull moments. Keep up the good job. Cheers from Romania
Thank you Marius
Terrific. And best thing you don’t natter on and on like some do. Of the RUclips photography bloggers, you are the one I’d most like to shoot with then nip down to the pub for a pint. But my wife would probably find out.... she’d never stay at her sister’s while I’m out and about...
lol I have a similar Wife :) Very kind comments, thank you. It's the best compliment you could have offered. I do like a pint. Consider yourself added to my Christmas Card List 👍
Gary Gough cheers!
Beautiful images!
Thank you :)
First video of yours that I've seen. Absolutely fantastic effort mate, subscribed!
Cheers Mo, very kind
Yep, the drift wood works well in the composition !
Cheers Tyson, my thoughts exactly 👍👍
really enjoyed Gary,great photos lovely sky
tudor west - cheers
Loved the bit where you added the 'prop' into the water, somebody told me a while back not to be afraid of 'doing the gardening' to improve your shots, how right he was! I've hit subscribe, gonna take a look at your back catalogue now. Great work! Oh yes, and 4pm sounds a lot better than 4am, agreed!
Trevor Sadowski - cheers Trevor. Thanks for the sub and great comments. Love the gardening analogy, that's getting used ;)
Sorry I'm getting to the party late Gary. Recently subscribed and love your work. I'm catching up on some of your earlier videos. Your compositions are great and your technique is equally awesome. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to going through the rest of your videos. I do a lot of wildlife photography now. Formerly a forensic photographer.
All the best !

Cheers, you're never too late to this party! A Forensic Photographer, wow. Sounds very interesting. I imagine the subject matter can be a little distressing too? Cheers and welcome to the channel 👍
Gary, Shooting landscapes, seascapes and wildlife is much more fun and rewarding than shooting cadavers, crime scenes and tire prints. I'm living the dream doing this new stuff. Your videos are an inspiration. Keep up the great work !
Gil from Largo FL USA
aka SemperFiGuy
Gil Barrett - I see what you mean now 😁 Enjoy your new adventure. All the best 👍🏻
Very very nice shots! I don't think we get those late day blue skies in Queensland, the sun just sets very quickly, no twilight.
Mike in Oz
what amazing pics, i am a newbie, still got lots to learn.
Thank you Lynn 👍
Great video Gary. I feel very inspired to get out in the evening now (if this rain will stop)
Been out tonight in the driving rain and wind. Not good at all :( Glad you like the video 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice images. A beautiful scenery.
Joao Carlos - cheers. Glad you like it. It's beautiful
Just come across your channel great video mate Nice set of images
Cheers Paul. Thanks for taking time out to comment too, means a lot.
Great pics! Thanks for sharing your time. On the constructive side, the music is subjective, but the one you have chosen makes it difficult for me to fully enjoy it, and the volume is crazy high.
Cheers Jevi. I totally understand what you're saying re the music btw. I've calmed it down quite a lot these days :)
As I watched this for the 2nd time Gary, I came to the realization this was the 1st video of yours I had ever seen, I gave it a thumbs up & subbed it, but I was hair brained enough not to comment on it!
Just love those long exp. shots bringing out the blues, very well done indeed...
Bill Farr... :)
Cheers Bill 👍🏻 👍🏻
Nice video thanks! I really liked the music you chose.
musically, i'm getting there :) Cheers
Hello Gary, what a great collection of shots you got in this one, I am loving the long exposures. Moving the log might be seen by some as a cheat but it totally improved the photo, thanks for all you do, see you soon Derek
Derek Willson - thanks for great comments. Cheers
Loved it Gary! You've got some amazing shots there. I'm just starting out with a DSLR and I found your video really helpful. I love blue! Subscribed!
hollie duncan - hi Hollie, very kind of you to say and a special thanks for subscribing :)
Hi Gary just come across your channel some stunning images and awesome videos .new subscriber and follower cheers
jon graham - hi Jon, very kind of you to say and welcome to my channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Great work very original. Loved the last shot with the building
John Brackenbury - hi John. Probably my favourite too. Thanks for taking time out to view the video and comment. Means a lot 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video and stunning shots! I can also feel the passion deep inside. Well done, Gary!
Vitus Kung - that's brilliant, very kind of you to say. Thank you
Got one more today!
Good vid ! At 4:50 , I'm gonna cheat , Most pros do what you did. 4 years to retirement = a lot of time for travel!
It's the best way :) 👍
love it .
keep those videos coming.
Hi Gary. Whilst I love B&W, I prefer the colour image of Lake Buttermere where you introduced that rather large lump of driftwood. Whilst you were up there, did you bother with the classic 'Buttermere Tree', or is it not on your bucket list? Keep up the great work. Cheers Paul
Hi Paul. Cheers again. I've not actually shot the Buttermere tree yet. It's on the list. Have you?
I was up there at the beginning of November last year and managed to catch a shot of it, but only handheld. So, I need to get back up there.(www.flickr.com/photos/woody1864/34141792300/in/dateposted-public/)
a ha nice pictures Paul. I especially like the street photography. That chef looks superb, probably my favourite :)
Great pictures mate and beautiful scenery but for me down south it’s a bit of a drive so I would opt for the reminder for 4pm, lol. Regarding your composition with the log and the two minute exposure, did you just use the 0.9 grad or anything else? Great vlog mate keep them coming
Hi Chris, Just a .9 soft grad, and my 10-stopper. There are only 2 slots on the Lee filter system
Loved this video, makes me want to visit but it much more than a 3hr drive for me haha! Subscribed too, looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Well worth the trip Matt :) Thanks for the Sub too
New sub! Loved the drift wood cheat.
Thank you Victor
Your photography is so stunning, so inspiring! Thanks Garry for this ace vlog!
Thank you kindly Sunny 👍
I subscribed and to be honest there's not one reason why I shouldn't have keep up the great work
Cheers. Thanks
And another new subscriber from "down under" , love your images and style.
Cheers Chris, very kind of you to say. Thanks for the Sub too :)
when someone wakes me up at six a.m. I come up swinging.
lol I know what you mean. Alarm set as a reminder then :) 👍👍
I am very late to this video but there is no audio at all a great deal of time including when you are talking. Is it possible the background music got a copyright strike and the audio was muted in those sections? It’s a shame because I am quite interested in hearing your thoughts.
Subbed your videos are fantastic ! Really pleased to follow a good and friendly photographer.
Great video. Thanks
Utkarsh Alok - glad you like it and thanks for saying 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video! Very entertaining and informative. Loved it
Amazing photos!
"We're rocking a 4 minute exposure at F/16" Great stuff,subscribed.
lol Cheers Rich. Rocking is the only way :)
Just WOW!!! Was that really cheating hmmm no more than removing something that was there in my opinion, as for the 1st image I can't make up my mind which one I prefer I like them both. Great images and great video as always.👍👍👍 Oh and I'll take 4pm over 4am anytime.😁😁😉 😉
Tim Blake - there's a lot to be said for setting a reminder 😀😀😀
Cheers Tim (again) very kind
I love the blue hour too! I personally prefer the period when the sun has set and there is a real strong glow in the sky which will make the landscape appear like silhouettes. Nothing better to have some body of water in front of you and some solid rock scape or something like that. that makes a crazy imagery (which is even during blue hour). Just like the photo at 8:54
Amazing video ... Very informative 😍😍😍
Yashraj N.M - thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
this great, thank you
You're welcome Matt
Love your videos Gary. Any chance you could show your images just a few seconds longer so we can get a longer look at them. Love it.
Hi Dave, Thank you for saying 👍🏻 Why don't you pause the video? :)
