Event Photography in the Lake District Cumbria

Here are a few images from the sporting event launch I recently photographed. The event, held at the Low Wood Hotel near Ambleside in the Lake District, was run by the organisers of the Great North Run/Great North Swim and supported by the British Army. It was a very hot day and the participants worked hard, exercising under the baking sun.

Cockermouth Live 2011 Photos

Here are a few photographs from Cockermouth Live 2011, an outdoor music event that took place on Saturday, 25th June around the town.

I managed to get a few shots of Yann Tan – playing Northumbrian and Scottish folk music in Old Kings Arms Lane before heading over to the Memorial Gardens to watch Crow Dog playing classic and current blues on the Main Stage.

Sadly, the rain stared to come down cutting short Crow Dog’s performance and calling a halt to proceedings.

The music was great, though.

Cockermouth Lantern Festival and Children in Need Event

Last night, the town of Cockermouth hosted a Lantern Festival and the BBC broadcast parts of its Children in Need event live from Main Street. The event marked the twelve month anniversary of the floods, which devastated the town. One year ago, Main Street was submerged under six feet of raging flood water. This year, thousands of visitors poured along Main Street visiting the food stalls and watching the procession and performers.

This is a slide show of my photographs from this year’s Cockermouth Lantern Festival and Children in Need Event.

Cockermouth Firework Display 2010

Last night, I headed down to Cockermouth to photograph the firework display. It was a fine, chilly evening and the event was well attended. Crowds gathered in Memorial Gardens to watch. The firework display kicked-off just after 6pm and lasted around thirty minutes.The fireworks were spectacular.

Here are some shots of the display.
