 What a coincidence! I just happened to be driving South through the Lakes last night after midnight, listening to radio 5 Live. I heard mentioned about the Lunar event and sure enough as I approached Ulswater I started to get glimpses of a spectacular scene which I knew I couldn't capture.

I stopped several times in Glenridding by the shore of Ulswater to admire the wonderful scene, it was probably the most spectacular view I have ever seen in the Lakes. The reflections in the mirror like water and the wonderful shades of dark grey were so beautiful. Yet I had no way of capturing it.

I yearn for my D3, I have considered going back up there tonight but it won't be as bright and even with the D200 I can't even hope to get a clean image. I took several images with the iPhone at about 1 O'clock but they were useless. Just blotchy shades of black!
