Been feeling as rough as a dog all day, not having eaten anything and been sick several times. When I came back from getting some medication, I had a look at the centre of the village of Ambleside and thought that a shot I previously thought wouldn't work could work. not knowing whether the snow would still be here tomorrow I decided to ignore the illness and set up my tripod and used both the 645D and the D800 to get some shots from a few positions. It being a large village, it tend to be quite quiet this time of the year so I was incredibly fortunate to have set up and gauged the best settings when a lorry was about to pass:
