"Painted with Light"

Very early morning on Rannoch Moor. It was raining all the previous

day. There were short breaks, but generally the weather was

remarkably uncomely. However, I was waiting for forecasted weather

change next day, which of course didnt happen. After spending the

night in the car I reached the moors. This time I went deep into them

(amazing how walk optically short distance in this terrain can take

over an hour). Till this time it started raining for good. Despite

all I placed the equipment, covered it by sheet, and I was waiting.

One hour passed and nothing. I started to lose my faith that anything

will change, when on the horizon there appeared a little scrap of the

blue sky, clouds tired for 2 minutes and the magic began. This is a

panorama stitched of 4 photos. The small version is simply nothing

but a thumbnail. Please see the LARGE version !!!

Great shot.

Congratulations

Beautiful! What a wonderful composition, and great job pulling it all together. I want you to know that I appreciate the information you provide about how you captured each image. It really puts into perspective how difficult it is to achieve these kind of results, plus having a little serendipitous luck thrown in doesn't hurt. Your stories give every photographer optimism that they can wait for a 'great moment' too. Best regards, Chris

superb!! Great colors/sharpness/detail. Must have been awe-inspiring being there!
