Alpine Glow Marsco


ian cameron

Sligachan, Skye, ScotlandA gorgeous rich rust red alpine glow is left flaming the top of Marsco in the cirque of Sligachan's Cuillins peaks. The breathlessly still conditions in late Autumn sunlight permit some superb reflections through which yellow reeds and grasses protrude. I wait for the last vestiges of colour to tinge the slopes and the pinkening sky above before taking one of my favourite shots of this fine location.Pentax 67 II ,55-100 zoom,Fujichrome Velvia0.45ND grad, f/22 at 6 Seconds.

Just before the sun sinks on an autumn afternoon, the rust red of

alpine glow lights up the distant Cuillins on the Isle of Skye.

Ian,  Wonderful.  The one word says it, but I also want to compliment you on the color, composition, reflection and depth of field.  Terrific artistic image.  Larry

Hello Ian,

Nice picture with some mood of Velvia indeed.  I don't think if I'd like more with the central meadows were lighter or completely in black.  My big nit about is concerning the framing, which I supose it's strong from a low level point of view and zooming for just take the grass on the lake compressed with the reflection, the real mountain and the sky.

I'm talking from the other side of the screen and not on the field, that often is completely different and sometimes impossible to do.  Compressing the image leaving the mountain at left side with the grass on the water and some more water on the center (with reflection) and to the LRC should be my choice if being there.  Anyway, good moment and good work on it.  5.5/7
