Kenny Block: Landscape photography in the Lake District

Kenny Block can often be found in the Lake District hiking to get to dramatic view points and capture the stunning scenery with his camera or drone. He has a full-time job as a railway signaller in Cumbria but in his spare time he’s also a landscape photographer. Kenny hasn’t alway been outdoorsy - and for a large portion of his teenage years and twenties he says he was caught up with drugs. Why does he credit hiking in the outdoors with helping him quit that lifestyle? And what photography tips does he have for capturing landscapes? You’ll find Kenny on Instagram at @kenny.d.block . The Outdoors Fix is a podcast produced and hosted by Liv Bolton @liv_outsideuk
