Ullswater and Glenridding from Place Fell terrace. Middle of the day and straight into the sun. No fancy cameras, filters or tripods. Just a very quick iPhone panorama whilst out for a Boxing Day walk with the Boss and our Rosie. (You might have to click on the image to see the full panorama)

‘High Water Gale Bay, Ullswater’. Taken Tuesday 16 December after what feels like weeks of rain. I’ve had my eye on this tree for quite some time. Whilst not quite the picture I’d envisaged I think the high waters and fog have made for quite a nice monochrome image. Can’t imagine it’s the last time I’ll photograph it. Fuji GFX100RF, Kase 0.6 Medium ND Grad, tripod and slightly soggy wellies. Exposure was 1 Sec at F/8, ISO 80. More at www.petetasker.co.uk

Just because the gallery is closed and I’ve hardly done any photography since retiring doesn’t mean you can’t have a new camera (he told the Mrs). Fuji GFX100RF - medium format with a fixed 35mm lens (28mm full frame equivalent) and super compact. It wouldn’t suit everyone and I’m pretty sure most photographers would find it just too limiting. To me however it feels refreshing and uncomplicated (other than being medium format with 100 megapixels, about ten thousand set up menus and not exactly cheap as chips). It does however remind me of a time when many of the medium format cameras I used only had a single fixed lens. It’s a style of photography I’ve tried to replicate a few times over the years by going out or away with just a camera body and one single fixed focal length lens. The verdict so far - love it. One camera and a filter pouch all stuffed in an unbelievably small light weight camera bag. Infact the Kase filter pouch is bigger than the camera. Pictures attached of its first shoot at Ullswater today - we’ve had a bit of rain!

‘Don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t have too many treats, don’t bark just because someone comes within five miles of the house. Admittedly I’ve not lifted a finger all day and I’ve slept for most of it and I have had three square meals but that’s not the point - what a crap time I’m having, I’m going for a lie down’.

My first new picture for quite some time and it’s an aerial view of Pooley Bridge looking out over the village towards Ullswater. The nicely lit wooded fell to the right of the village is Dunmallard Hill. Could really have done with a touch more mist. Taken just after dawn Sunday 14 September. More at www.petetasker.co.uk

Happy Birthday to our little Rosie - a massive 7 years old today but unfortunately still mad as a box of very mad frogs and twice as daft. Think she thought she might get some sort of redundancy package when we closed the shop - dream on girl!

Well that’s it. Today was our last day and after 16 years trading Viewpoints is no more and the gallery now an empty (or nearly empty) shop again.

As well as a bottle of bubbly we’re also celebrating retirement with a new lens (like you do). Apparently Wex Photographic don’t do a pensioners discount - but it was worth asking! 🤪

A massive thank you again to everyone who’s supported us over the years, much appreciated 🍾🍾🍾
