Thank-you so much Lois, I took this one last year at the Lake District, there always seems to be a few swans gliding on this corner of the lake in the early morning.
There was three or four this year when I was there but the light was too contrasty to make it work as satisfactorily as this one.
Yes,Polarizer and Yes,a tripod at all times,plus a spirit level on the hotshoe to get it level, quite mechanical at times but it saves trying to rescue them in PS later,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Dave, the boathouse has recently been sold for over £400,000, all about location I’d say,

Early mornings are always best for this kind of shot in the Lake District, I never have trouble getting up early when I’m there, many thanks again Gwenda,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Zoe, again it was the reflections that first attracted me to this spot and I have been back many times but never quite the same reflections I’m afraid,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Prasad,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Henri, I am told the old boathouse was sold for an enormous sum of money (over £400,000) as a holiday home and has had quite a bit of renovation work done on it since I was there, it would be interesting to see how it looks now,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much for the wonderful comment Chen,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Jane, it was so peaceful when I was there so early in the morning,
Regards, Rod.

Hi Jason, thanks so much my friend,

Thank-you very much indeed, it was well worth the early start to the day,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much again George, I took this one in May 2007 and was back there last May trying to replicate the same shot, there were 3 or 4 swans there last year and it just didn’t have the same balance as this one,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks again Linda, your kind comments are always appreciated,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much, the whole of the Lake District is beautiful like this,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Ken, it was one of those special times when all the elements were on my side,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Mike, it’s easy to find, as you leave Poolley Bridge to make your way alongside Ullswater, it’s on your left and there is a pull in next to it, I believe the Boathouse has had a bit of a facelift since I was there,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed Friederike, I have just entered it in the group,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Tim, I believe the fishing is excellent in the lake,

Thank-you very much for featuring the image Friederike, much appreciated,

Thank-you so much Daffo, Ullswater is considered by many to be the most beautiful lake in the English Lake District, I very much enjoy my visits to the area,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Tai, I had arrived at the Lake District shortly after 6am and too early for my holiday accommodation so I went a few miles on to Ullswater and it was so still with perfect reflections, so the camera did have to come out,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Carol, I am told the boathouse in this scene was remodeled and sold for well over £400,000, a definite case of location dictating the price,
Regards, Rod.
