Castlerigg & Blencathra Sunrise
I won’t forget this sunrise in a hurry! I arrived at Castlerigg just before sunrise. I already knew my composition, but I wasn’t expecting there to be lambs playing on the stones. The problem I faced with the lambs is that they were of course never still for very long. I would normally take a shot like this using a slow shutter speed with a low ISO at f/11. But for me to capture the lambs as well, I needed to increase the shutter speed as much as I could to have any hope of catching the lambs “still” and not blurry in the shot. I opened the aperture to f/8 and increased my ISO from 50 to 2000, which gave me a shutter speed of 1/60. I kept making noises to try and get the lambs attention in the hope they would be still for a brief moment. Most of the shots I took didn’t quite capture the sheep completely still except for this one. I’m really pleased how the shot came out and having the lambs there was a real bonus.
