High Summer

Quiraing, Skye, ScotlandGiven a choice I prefer to shoot at first light as the quality of this type of light is soft colourful and very beautiful, shooting in the late morning is usually not terribly productive but here the carpet of greenery is like a wrinkled snooker table full of bumps and depressions and large puffy white clouds flee briskly across the sky culminating in the most wonderful patterns of light and shade that give this scene immense depth and colour. Ultimately this single image transports me back to that fine breezy warm summers day high on the Quiraing effectively and brings me as much joy as any image I have ever taken there.Pentax 67 II ,55-100 zoom,Fujichrome Velviapolariser, 2 stop ND filter, 0.75ND hard edged grad rocked around axis of slope to blend grad line, f/22 at 1 second.

Ian, beautiful landscape. The winding road on the verdant hill, cumulous clouds in the  blue sky and play of light & shade, make this image very attractive. Very good exposure,DOF and soft colors.

Beautiful colors! I love the composition. Twisting road fits very nicely into the image.

Best regards,

Marianna

P.S. Thank you for the comment on my recent New Zealand photo.

I often find the prevalence of summer green almost overwhelming in our temperate, rainy latitudes, but I like the subtle gradation of shades in this photo. The angle of view is also very well chosen.
