a taster

... having said I'd taken some risks with the pics I took in the Lakes, this is a pretty safe shot photographically - the technically chancey stuff will come when I've done a bit of processing in Photoshop.
Physically, however, this was quite risky as the wind speed must have been 40-50 mph and I was worried that a falling branch would brain me: my camera got drenched every time I took it out from beneath my coat: Also I wasn't sure that my knees would get me back to the car, and Pen couldn't have carried me. Anyway, this is Derwentwater, looking south (from the north coast) towards the Jaws of Borrowdale. It was very dim, and I've allowed that to come through in this shot rather than let the camera expose it "properly". More soon...
