About We returned to The Lake District last week and unfortunately suffered constant rain and wind for all but one day. I still got up before dawn each morning and on this occasion I drove up to Watendlath. In the dark I searched for a composition around the lake but couldn't find anything and then it began to rain. Looking for shelter I walked down the beck and found this spot under a gnarled old rowan tree. I half crawled under the tree and managed to set up the tripod, water dripping on my head and hardly able to get my head in a position where I could look through the viewfinder. I could see that a long exposure would create an image from the random tumult of the beck. The leaf on the foreground rock was there without my intrusion and gives added foreground interest. And so I crouched for the five minute exposure and hoped. The image has worked out as I'd hoped, the smoothed flow leading the eye down the little waterfall, through the ravine and beyond. I used a polariser to increase the contrast between the rapids and the smoother areas of water and an 81B warm-up to counter the blue dawn light. The water colours look a little odd but are essentially correct as the water was a browny-yellow colour following heavy rainfall.

I think your early wake-up has been rewarded by this picture.

I like the extreme effect of water flow like mist on the wet rocks.

The little brown leaf on the rock in foreground is like a "cameo" in the photo itself.

Thank you for sharing the "making of" and your little secrets. Learning from fellow photographer is the main goal of my beeing on UF.

Best regards -Fabio-

Ps: the word beck is very similar to the German "Bach" that has the same meaning.
The Nordern Europe root are assured :-)

Stefan, I took a spot meter reading off the rocks in the middle distance, I find this generally works well when shooting streams in lowish light.

Yes, the word beck is, I think, a Viking word, as is fell (the Cumbrian word for large hill) and there are many more. This area of Britain was in Viking hands for centuries and there was a strong Norsk presence even after the main Viking presence ended.

I really like how water can get that frosted glass look at long exposures. Where about would you say the incident EV reading was at this time (I guess I can figure it out from the data you already gave...). I find it interesting that you call this a beck - a swedish word for this is a "Bäck", pronounced pretty much the same way. The wet rocks give this an appealing look as well.
