SIX TIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING THE FELLS

You don’t need expensive equipment to capture stunning images. Here are Terry’s tips for getting the best shots

1

“It’s not the tools, it’s the craftsman. You don’t have to have the best camera, although there are limits – for instance, with image quality on phones.”

2

“Get out during the golden hour – at dawn and dusk – when the light, the colours and drama are at their best.”

3

“It’s not always about the [photographic] rule of thirds and composition; it’s about what inspires you. If you’re passionate, that will shine through.”

4

“Don’t be afraid to explore and wander – follow your eye. It doesn’t have to be the big hills. They’ll give good views, but not the best views.”

5

“Get out in winter when there’s snow on the fells and the sun is low in the sky. It’s dramatic, even in the middle of the day.”

6

“Pay attention to the weather – be in the shadow of storms. So, if the weather’s coming from the west, stay out east where the cloud’s likely to break and lift.”
