Here is a shot of Wasdale on Sunday afternoon as another weather system is passing through.

The weather had been nice in the morning but it was turning awful so I went to Wasdale and managed to catch some nice shots. I watched this squall travel the length of the vally and hardly got wet.

What do you think?
 
I like it , Very moody and nature giving a display
 
Great shot Alf, good comp', lovely light, and well handled exposure.(y)

Well done on capturing the conditions here Alf, I wonder whether you might lose a little off the bottom of the frame, to increase the presence of the squall
 
Excellent :) Very moody
 
I like these but the first one the most. I love watch rain move along a valley like this. This definitely shows why staying local allows you to capture the images when the weather is right, having the lakes on your doorstep is perfect.

Thanks Rob
I live less than ten miles from Ennerdale (between the sea and hills) but the climate is different over the hills.

Those conditions are to die for! I thought the top one was in B&W before it scrolled right down.

Very nice. I might crop them differently myself but that's a personal opinion........

Thanks Jeremy
I left the tones muted so they showed the rain better.
Any crops are welcome.
 
I think these are great Alf...a big umbrella? The shot with the divers is spooky, imagine being down there! ;)

Thanks Nick
I did have my big umbrella out to keep the rain off my filter/lens for the camera on the tripod during some long exposures I tried it was not easy holding the umbrella though. I was in waterproofs.
The divers apearing was slightly sureal they said it got really cold below 20m and when I had a crack with them they said it was clear for the first time in months.

Thanks Stuart it was more than I had hoped for I was just hoping for some gaps in the cloud but I had seen squalls over the sea on the way there and did consider a trip to a beach instead.
 
Wow, very nice Alf. Not everybody would attempt images in these conditions. Plenty of drama. I love number 1.

Great shots Alf.
I like the first shot in the second series, the panorama view works well.
