Not too bad. Plantar has been plaguing me all summer which has reduced the distances a bit, but hopefully it is getting slowly better. Purchased a new camera body with a macro lens as weop so at least that has kept me occupied in the garden when not doing the day job!

First time out out with a camera for ages still recovering from Plantar. A walk to Warnscale Bothy. The heather roots in the foreground really grabbed my attention rather than the bothy itself #nikon #sharemondays2025 #photography #landscapephotography #eastcoastkin #mountainmondays #lakedistrict

As Haweswater drops the remains of the walls of the streets of Mardale Green become visible. Destroyed in the late 1930s for ordnance testing ahead of the valley being dammed. It's amazing to see that the walls remain. #lakedistrict #photography #mobilephotography #history

ViewPoints Photography (@viewpointsphoto.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah this was one time where it looked like a really strong possibility. I set up camp but packed up in the middle of the night to get the Lake view. I just didn't expect it to be so good! I remember having to dial down my typical settings as I was overexposing the aurora!
ViewPoints Photography (@viewpointsphoto.bsky.social) reply parent
Pretty special. I hadn't expected it to be so visible. At one point it looked like the death star had fired its laser at the mountain. It was just amazing to see it overhead. The last photo was 3.45am and it was still visible to the eye (albeit without colour at that point) and this was looking WSW.
ViewPoints Photography (@viewpointsphoto.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah and the press started their "see the northern lights tonight" regular rubbish! (Along with polar storm/artic freeze etc etc!)

Cheers Jaycee it's an oldie, but I'm so glad I shot in raw as it's a complete re-edit with a few more years of editing experience. Revisting lots of photos many not ever processed whilst the car is off the road.
