MY FAVOURITE PLACE - Winskills by Dorcas Eatch & Derwentwater by Trevor Rudkin

Winskills By Dorcas Eatch

This is a favourite place because although you can hear the roar of the M6 and hear Settle below, you really could not be further from civilization. To me, this has a lot of elements I love; the mountains (Ingleborough), a crooked hawthorn tree back bent yet still strong to the storms and very pretty in May; and the limestone pavement. It catches all weathers and all moods and just inspires.

Derwentwater By Trevor Rudkin

When I started to get into photography my "hero" was John Clow FRPS who took superb monochrome images in Snowdonia. Nearly everyone tried to copy him, and we saw lots and lots of Snowdonia/North Wales images. I tried to find a different area to "make my own". Scotland was too far from rural Northamptonshire, so in 1994, I visited The Lakes for the first time as a photographer. And I have been back every year since. Now that my wife comes with me we use Keswick as a base, and so Derwentwater is the first port of call whenever the weather looks "interesting"
