- Landscape Photography | The Blue Hour, it's the best time isn't it?
This week I visited one of my favorite places for landscape photography, Honister in the Lake District. Photographing Lake Buttermere is a must for any local/ish photographer!
It's the second time I've photographed there during the "Blue Hour".
I don't know why I seem to gravitate to Buttermere for the after dark pictures. Maybe it's because of it's geographic settings. It's surrounded by mountains, and because of this, it's not really a place suited to photograph during a sunrise or sunset. Having said that though, I had the most amazing sunset.
I make at least one video a week, and I've some amazing locations penned. Please make it worth my while and support the channel.

Well worth the trip Matt :) Thanks for the Sub too
I'm a new subscriber from across the pond just beginning my journey in photography. I love your photos and instructions. This is your first video I've watched and the first time I've ever subscribed to a channel. I look forward to your future videos!
Pressure is on! Really glad you liked the content. I'm your first sub, I'm honoured. You've got some fantastic Landscape Photographers your end of the world. You'll have to look on UA-cam. Cheers again
Great Video Gary! Another subscriber here, I love shooting the Blue Hour, it's amazing how a scene can change so much in just a few minutes, thats why never go home straight after sunset!
Hi Greg, cheers for Subscribing. It obviously showed in the video but I love love love the Blue hour :)
Lovely spot mate, one of our favourite Campervan spots, super pictures thanks for tutorials
Sorry I'm getting to the party late Gary. Recently subscribed and love your work. I'm catching up on some of your earlier videos. Your compositions are great and your technique is equally awesome. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to going through the rest of your videos. I do a lot of wildlife photography now. Formerly a forensic photographer.
All the best !

Cheers, you're never too late to this party! A Forensic Photographer, wow. Sounds very interesting. I imagine the subject matter can be a little distressing too? Cheers and welcome to the channel 👍
Gary, Shooting landscapes, seascapes and wildlife is much more fun and rewarding than shooting cadavers, crime scenes and tire prints. I'm living the dream doing this new stuff. Your videos are an inspiration. Keep up the great work !

aka SemperFiGuy
Gil Barrett - I see what you mean now 😁 Enjoy your new adventure. All the best 👍🏻
I love the composition in these photos. Simply beautiful, and the colors are fantastic. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Gary, great video :) I also love to shoot the blue hour most of my images are from that time. I photograph city's with London being my main place to shoot. My favorite image you took here was at about 8.46. I look forward to seeing more from you.

hollie duncan - hi Hollie, very kind of you to say and a special thanks for subscribing :)
How about a 15 foot tree washed up on beach lol. Took two of us to stand it up and get balanced, and yes we did put it back when finished. Love the 2nd to last image most, one sweet shot.
lol Love it :) Cheers
First video of yours that I've seen. Absolutely fantastic effort mate, subscribed!
Cheers Mo, very kind
As I watched this for the 2nd time Gary, I came to the realization this was the 1st video of yours I had ever seen, I gave it a thumbs up & subbed it, but I was hair brained enough not to comment on it!
Just love those long exp. shots bringing out the blues, very well done indeed...
Bill Farr... :)
Cheers Bill 👍🏻 👍🏻
And another new subscriber from "down under" , love your images and style.
Cheers Chris, very kind of you to say. Thanks for the Sub too :)
You make very nice videos! Informative, educational, entertaining, and worth the length! Thank you for citing your music sources (and even providing the musician link)! Cheers!
Hi Trey, I always do. I even use a paid for service so the artist is taken care. I use player.epidemicsound.com if you're interested. Cheers 👍👍
Slick video Gary .... and some fantastic pictures 👍
Very kind, thank you
Nice video, glad I clicked on it. Earned yourself a new subscriber :) I need to take myself to the Lake District but live in Berkshire so a bit of a trek!
Just do it :) Thanks for the nice comment btw appreciate it
Awesome again.
You must be getting fed up with me by now Dean :) Thank you
This is amazing! Never seen landscape photography this stunning.
Question: When you shoot at very high iso, how do you cope up with noise? Or is the camera that good?
Thank you very much for saying. I have very good high-end cameras but just so you know, even my Canon Flagship camera produces noise at such high ISO's It's all about the post-production.
stunning pics! wonderful
Solkels _Z - thank you
Just found your site. Did subscribe. Like the presentation too. From other side of the pond, San Diego, California. Keep up the great videos.
It has been proven that Gary is the greatest name in the world. Ha! Nice presentation. I am a published bird photographer from across the pond. Decided to dive into landscapes full force. Learning a lot from Thomas Heaton and now you!! Got myself a nice Lee set and working on adding more filters when I get paid again lol God bless you and take care!!
Stunning scenery and some amazing images! Very inspirational! Thanks
Cheers Phil, you're very kind 👍🏻
Great video and stunning shots! I can also feel the passion deep inside. Well done, Gary!

loving your videos Gary. best one ince the salford quays video.
Hello Gary, what a great collection of shots you got in this one, I am loving the long exposures. Moving the log might be seen by some as a cheat but it totally improved the photo, thanks for all you do, see you soon Derek
Derek Willson - thanks for great comments. Cheers
Yep, the drift wood works well in the composition !
Cheers Tyson, my thoughts exactly 👍👍
when someone wakes me up at six a.m. I come up swinging.

Another great video Gary. Incidentally, putting that log in the water is not cheating it is using artistic licence!
Cheers George
Awesome video! Very entertaining and informative. Loved it
Lovely photos .I am a massive hill walker and I am just about to buy a Fuji XT2 to try landscape photography. Your photographs look fantastic so I am going to subscribe to your channel to get some tips. I cannot count the times I have seen magnificent sunrises and sunsets from very remote camping spots. About time I tried to capture those moments.
Loved that picture at 8:54 ! Stunning work.
Very kind, cheers
Great work very original. Loved the last shot with the building
John Brackenbury - hi John. Probably my favourite too. Thanks for taking time out to view the video and comment. Means a lot 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video thanks! I really liked the music you chose.
musically, i'm getting there :) Cheers
Really like your pictures and ideas about the blue hour!
Just a question: how do you get the sharpness during this blue hour while you say you need to open the aperture wide open?
Great compositions. Production quality of video was excellent. I’m now a subscriber.
Thank you Doug. Thanks for the sub too 👍🏼
great video, thanks for sharing
Cheers Andy
Great pictures mate and beautiful scenery but for me down south it’s a bit of a drive so I would opt for the reminder for 4pm, lol. Regarding your composition with the log and the two minute exposure, did you just use the 0.9 grad or anything else? Great vlog mate keep them coming
Hi Chris, Just a .9 soft grad, and my 10-stopper. There are only 2 slots on the Lee filter system
Hi Gary, wow great vlog with amazing photos! You have got yet another new subscriber here. Loved the soundtrack song too. Where did you find it? 🙏

I like your taste in music.
And the amazing photographs, of course. :P
DJ Tranquillity - it's not the norm on Landscape videos but I like to be different. I do however get criticised for my music choices :)
Criticism will always exist. But it's unique and it's amazing so keep it up, mate!
Lovely shots Gary.
