lochan in rannoch moor

winter lochan

STUNNING scene, very beautiful.

Very nice scenery! If I had to be super-critical (as you ask for critics by posting), I would propose to place the summit of the left mountain in the reflection between the rocks and not behind the left stone . Also, shifting up the horizon a little could be an idea, but I'm not too shure on this point.

Hi Elaine, this is a particularly good location for photography as you have obviously found out!

 

For those of you not familiar with the area, just behind this viewpoint there is a busy, fast road. I always find it hard to believe looking at Lochan na h'Achlaise that it is so easy to reach. The mountains across the lochan are commonly known as the Black Mount. I've photographed the same view countless times and never tire of it. Also a perennial favourite in calendars and post cards too.

 

This is a nice picture, it could have been improved with better positioning of the rocks in the image, just to keep the mountains fully visible. Also, the colour is a bit odd. I'm not sure whether this is from your film choice or maybe a scanning error. But, for scenes like this slide film gives better colour saturation. If you check the images that I have uploaded here, all of them were taken on Fuji Velvia, just to give that bit extra kick. But, for a beginner this is a very good start. If you want any tips on other good locations in that area, give me a shout at my new e-mail address : scotscene@hotmail.com

Very Nice
