Rydal Falls Black & White
Rydal Falls was near the top of my list of locations to visit in the Lake District. The series of cascading waterfalls stretching just under three miles, provides a wealth of varied imagery to photograph.
I was most excited about photographing The Grot, at the bottom of the falls. Standing on a bridge over the river, I was in the perfect position to capture the building, with the waterfall directly behind to give the scene depth. With the lush foliage and many different textures within the scene, I decided to photograph Rydal Falls using an infrared filter. This made the leafs of the trees and bushes different shades of white which contrasted with the darker, smooth stream in the centre of the photograph. Infrared provided a superb range of neutral tones than look breathtaking on the metallic finish paper.
