Today's trip was a return trip to the Far Eastern Fells, hadn't been walking over here since my early morning walk to Angle Tarn before Christmas.  I wanted to try out the new camera I'd just got so I thought Angle Tarn would be a good as place as any to do it? The weather wasn't brilliant for photo's, as it was very hazy and the distance views were disappointing. I was still very impressed how the camera handled the conditions considering I had it set on 'auto' all day, which is something I very rarely do these days.

An early morning view of Ullswater, just had to stop and snap this, it was stunning!

We also made the short walk along to Brothers Water for a few shots before we headed off to Angle Tarn

The reflections were lovely, Tim didn't think so though, he had to sit patiently until I'd finished taking photo's

This shot shows the blanket of high cloud that drifted across the Lakes during the day, made the lighting really flat
