No tripod required

Here's one from a recent early morning trip to Torver Common. This is Kelly Hall Tarn with Coniston Old Man in the distance.
I'm finding I'm using my tripod a lot less since switching to Olympus. The sync stabilisation in the 12-100mm Pro lens and camera body make it possible to easily handhold at shutter speeds down to 1/2 second. I like the freedom of exploring different compositions without the need to mess around setting up my tripod.

Coniston Boathouse

This boathouse on the SW shore of Coniston Water is the boathouse that was features in Arthur Ransome childrens novel Swallows and Amazons.
I had to wait a long time for a gap in the clouds to allow the sunlight to light up the boathouse and tree.
I used a 6 stop ND filter to slow the shutter speed to blur the water and clouds to give the peaceful look.
The Olympus Hi-Res modes takes four exposures to create a 50 megapixel image, it also means the 3 second exposure was like a 12 second exposure, helping to blur the water and clouds even more.

Rusland Gap

I'm enjoying trying to take these more intimate landscapes rather than the wider epic Lake District views.
This was on taken during a misty morning Rusland Valley walk.

 I went for a walk in the woods in the rain, I am are so lucky to find these scenes so near to home.
