Photo location ideas's in the Lakes?

[Geddes]

I'm popping out in the car tomorrow for a drive out with my mate and was wondering if any of you can recommend any good photo places, i've been to the lakes many times but havn't seen of it's hot spots

Can any of your recommend any places where you have been and for me worth going there?

If you're a good walker then going up Helm Cragg commonly know as 'The Lion & the Lamb' would get you some almighty views, it is a thousand feet high but when I went up there were small children going up with ease, you just need some decent walking shoes.
Although alot of people had trainers on, but conditions were good.

This is from the top but there are different views all the way up.

Going up will take about an hour and about the same on the way down but going down is easier
so could take less time, I spent an hour on the top so all in all a good three hours.

However if the weathers crap best left for another day, but they do say if you don't like the weather in the
lakes, wait an hour.

canny shot that like. Don't think i won't be doing much walking.

I did see a old Roman Fort somewhere but don't know where it was. i wouldn't mind getting some stream shots, waterfall shots, some nice hill shots similar to the one above

There are loads of sites on photo locations in the lakes, I just typed photography locations in the lake district into google

nice one, google is your friend lol

just decided, Buttermere Lake looks impressive

 

[DaveDreads]

Thats the thing with the lakes, you have to pick a destination otherwise you could be driving around all day,
the place is huge with nothing more than narrow winding roads, great for driving but can take ages to get anywhere.

 

[Geddes]

aye very true, going to take a direct route getting there, and spend abit time at the lake and take a more scenic route home

Get some pics up on Monday for us, love a good landscape.

I would go up Whinlatter Pass (the steepest road in England). Although if your brakes are pants, I wouldn't bother lol.

Some amazing views up there too.

Going up it in my old Mondeo, when it snows like this, the upper road is closed.

View from the top...

Someone elses car at the top...

Kirkstone Pass is also a good one and has a car park near the top (going down to Ullswater, pass the pub at the top of the hill) so you can get some shots from there of the valley below...
