Pay The Ferryman

This long abandoned jetty at the end of the Glen Etive road is a popular spot to take pictures. However on this particular day the weather was beyond appalling the rain was incessant and driven by a vicious wind. I sought refuge in an old boat shed and set up my camera with some modest protection around me. I made an exposure of over a minutes duration thanks to a 4 stop ND filter in conjunction with a polariser the colours intensified greatly and the water was reduced to an aqueous blur rather than the choppy waves that bristled the surface in real life.NEW!!

The abandoned jetty at Glen Etive photographed from inside a boatshed

due to the driving rain. 6 stops of ND filter were used to reduce

the water to a blur and intensify colour f/22 at 1 min.

I like what you accomplished here. The water almost has the appearance of a mist with the pilings rising up...quite effective!

Very original and captivating. Haven't seen anything quite like this before! If you can make pictures in the rain in Scotland, then the possibilities are endless! Regards, Erik

I don't think you give yourself enough credit for this shot. For me I see SCALE. The 200mm brought the big ass mountain forward, the low light/long exposure gave you a cool foreground, and the objects in the water provide scale. I want to go there!

Captivating image. Great transition from water to atumn to snow as one gazes up the image. Well done.

The compression in distance works well and the hillside textures are really something. I think there may be an even better shot long these lines waiting to be taken? Maybe one with fewer foreground objects?
