At 143 feet above sea level Coniston Water is the 3rd largest lake in the Lake District. I took this photograph of the little pleasure steamer that takes visitors up and down the lake made famous by the Bluebird water speed record attempt by Donald Cambell back in 1967.
The lake looked so serene that we decided to take the boat trip around the lake. On the trip the skipper told us about the day that the Bluebird crashed at 320 MPH. The skipper showed us the spot where Donald Cambell died while making the attempt. It happened very quickly you'll be pleased to hear.

Mountain with a rainbow
This rainbow appeared in the mountain and just hung about for ages and I got a few shots for @keithboone's #mountainmonday here's one below.
It is taking a bit more time to process my photographs as I am shooting almost exclusively in RAW these days and the images need to be converted before editing.
It is worth the extra effort because it allows you to pull more detail from each image. It will get faster as I get my workflow sorted out and I love learning new things so it's all good.
