Easedale Tarn in Cumbria was a favourite spot of the poet William Wordsworth when he lived at Dove Cottage in the nearby village of Grasmere, and remains one of the most serene and unspoilt places in the Lake District.
As this was a travel assignment, I decided that there should be an element of travel incorporated into the acquisition of the image. For that reason, rather than simply go down to the beach at Souhtport, five miutes away from my house, and the most obvious location for the 'castaway' element of the brief, I went to the Lake District, making it necessary to calculate the time of day most suitable for the shot, and to ensure the appropriate weather conditions. I concluded that it was not sufficient to select a very local location, and that the lighting and weather were critically important for the purposes of producing an image acceptable to a publication like Asia & Away magazine.
