Wast Water, The Lake District, Cumbria
Just got back from a week in the Lake District and was able to give the camera on my iPhone a good work out as it’s the only camera I took. I particularly like the Pano App by Debarcle Software which I used a lot, including making the picture on this post. It’s all done in camera and if I’d had any signal at this location I could have blogged this whilst looking over the lake. On a slightly different note, the iPhone is by far now the most popular camera phone on the photo sharing site Flickr and has just passed the Canon Digital Rebel as Flickr’s most popular camera.
The Lakes were stunning, as always when the weather is good, but I also liked the muted grey tones you get when the clouds roll in over the hills and absorb much of the light and colour. Wast Water is a particularly great place to visit if you want scenery but it requires a little effort to get to. There’s a good National Trust campsite in Wastdale which I do recommend.
Even though I didn’t take any camera kit, just the phone which was liberating, most of the photos were taken about 5 minutes walk from my tent.
