‘A pre-dawn climb up Grisdale Pike in
the Lake District was the setting for this
shot. I noticed the light trails through
the mist and thought it would make a
compelling image.’
JASON’STOP TIPS1
If you want dramatic photos go out
in dramatic weather but keep an
eye out for storm warnings. Make
sure both you and your camera are
protected from the elements.
2
If you see nice light make a note
of the time and location. The
likelihood is that conditions may
repeat over the following days. Head
out and search for compositions and
you may get the shot you are after.
3
Observe the weather and try to
predict changes in the rain and
light. It is possible to anticipate
rainbow positions in advance of them
appearing so start looking for
compositions before they appear.

‘The fog is my favourite condition
to shoot in due to the potential for
minimalistic compositions and the
way the background appears to go
on indefinitely. On Christmas Eve
2018 my family and I went to
Saunton Sands for a walk but
when we arrived the foggy
conditions were unlike anything
that I had seen before on the
beach. I moved toward the
coastline and after a short time
these children came running up to
play in the shallow water. They
made for perfect subjects as they
were extremely energetic, running
on excitement for the following day.’
ARTHUR’S TOP TIPS1Revisit the same locations to
get familiar with the
conditions that work best.2Don’t be afraid to shoot
candid photos of people
despite it being a landscape;
they give a great sense of scale.Technique LPOTY 21©^
