Hodge Close View
Hodge Close Quarry in the Lake District sits between Coniston and Langdale, and I wanted to incorporate the area’s famous slate into my landscape photography.
The area is surrounded by peaks including the Pike of Blisco and I was pleased that the autumn sun was shining when I reached Hodge Close. With the sun hitting one side of the mountain, it illuminated the golden fauna on the hillsides while keeping the steep drop shrouded in shade, showing off the dramatic, rugged landscape.
To create the depth of shot that I so often seek in my landscape photography, I used the pale grey slate in the foreground, a scattered line of golden trees in the mid-ground, and the soft but dramatic clouds behind the mountain to create layers and points of interest to hold the eye.
As a result, Hodge Close View is filled with lots of colour and texture that highlights the stunning scenery of the Lake District in autumn.
