The Lake District - Where To Shoot?

If that book is anything like the one that fotoview do on North Wales, it will be well worth purchasing.

I would take a look at this Flickr group, its been running since 2005 and has over 85k photos of that area.

Flickr also has a World Map, on which you can zoom in and search for photos. Some people geotag their photos, so you will be able to see where they're taken from. You need to zoom in, click Search the Map, and then click on the Go button. It will then pop lots of pink dots in the area of the map you're looking at. You can then either click on the pink dots or click and scroll through the pictures on the bar. The blue arrows will load in a new selection or take you back.

Flickr World Map can be found at

Well worth getting an OS Map of the area as well.

There are so many good places but it largely comes down to time of day and cloud level (if appropriate).

Use SunCalc if you want to capture the sun in a particular valley:

Take a look at the mountain forecast if you're capturing views to understand potential cloud base levels:

As already suggested, an OS map showing elevation will help with a mountain forecast and you can pick out lines of sight.

Thank you, I'll check that out :)

No problem.

I took a look at your website. Some astounding images there, I suspect some of the shots you might take in the Lake District may be something rather nice.

Having only had a quick look at some of your pictures and noting that you've taken quite a few shots of Cathedrals and Churches, have you ever been to St. Giles Catholic Church in Cheadle, Staffordshire. If you haven't you should go, it is stunning.

Another place you might like is Port Sunlight and the Lady Lever Art Gallery on the Wirral - some really nice stuff in the Gallery.

Thank you Andy for taking the time to look :)
I've just started to get back into landscape photography, after just shooting architecture.
Recent visits to Wales/Anglesey giving great results. Especially Mt Snowdon covered in snow.

I'll check out that church and Port Sunlight, I've not been to either.
