The Boathouse at Ullswater
The Boathouse at Ullswater was the first photograph I took, having arrived on a trip to the Lake District in the early evening. The seasons were on the turn from summer to autumn, and so I headed out straight away to take advantage of the remaining light. The Boathouse overlooks Ullswater and I wanted to capture the surrounding hills in the background. I set up at a slight distance from the boathouse and used the zoom to get the correct frame that would capture the foreground scene and depth of the lake. This technique forces the perspective, allowing more detail in the undulating hills than a traditional wide-angle lens might capture. The pale gold on the distant horizon is mirrored onto the glassy water in the foreground of the lake, which balances with the lighter foliage of the yellowing autumn leaves.
The Boathouse at Ullswater has a rich green-blue colour palette and variety of textures to captivate fans of the Lake District.
