Some Words About Mountain Photography by Gordon Stainforth

© Gordon Stainforth
On August 5th the BBC broadcast episode two of Mountain hosted by Griff Rhys Jones (www.bbc.co.uk/mountain). This episode featured Griff attempting to climb Napes Needle and talking to mountain photographer and author, Gordon Stainforth (UKClimbing.com profile) about mountain photography, including a fruitless wait for good atmospherics and light high on a Lakeland fell.

This series has provoked much discussion at the UKClimbing.com forums.

It was my birthday on the 5th. Don't think I could have focussed on anything like a TV ;-)

Gordon's photo of Kipling Groove (not really a photo of Kipling Groove at all! By which I mean it's 'much more' than that..) is superb - it conveys a sense of the grandeur, beauty, and indifference of the mountains (The Sublime?).

That's pure cant you kant. How can a mountain be indifferent?
10 Aug, 2007
Depends on which way you've sat on it.

Hmm, I fail to comprehend how a mountain can be anything other than indifferent? http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:indifferent&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title
