Landscape Photography in the Lake District (Silence is Golden)

In this video I head out before sunrise for a quiet dawn shoot at Derwentwater, just outside Keswick in the Lake District. I was shooting with the Fujifilm GFX50R, a camera that really encourages a slower, more considered approach. Dawn at Derwentwater is always unpredictable, but thatโ€™s part of the appeal โ€” subtle light, calm water, and plenty of time to simply observe before pressing the shutter.

This isnโ€™t a tutorial or a gear review. Itโ€™s a quiet slice of landscape photography in one of my favourite locations, showing the process as it unfolds rather than just the final images. If you enjoy slow photography, early starts, and atmospheric landscapes, I hope this video resonates.

    HiJason, I am coming to the Lake District from Monday 2nd – 9th November 2026. I have visited the Lakes on a number of occasions, and being a keen landscape photographer I like coming back to photograph some well known spots and new specific locations. I consider myself an enthusiast, always looking to improve my photography. I will be staying in a B/B in Braithwaite. I am enquiring whether you are available to provide 1 to 1 tuition on 1 possibly 2 of the dates quoted. Can you provide a quote , terms of hire,or direct me to where you advertise your services. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes Rob Rowley
