"Clach Leathad"

It's been said that the mood of the Scottish landscape depends on

the weather more than anywhere else on Earth. And Rannoch Moor is

probably the most extreme example of that. There is no doubt that

Rannoch Moor is one of my favourite locations in Scotland. It gives

so many photographic opportunities that every single time I'm there

is unique. This time the weather was really great - not even a

single cloud on the sky. Honestly - I prefer more "dramatic"

conditions, but I can't complain :) People usually take photos from

around nearby A82. I wanted something else - that's why I went much

further into the moor this time. I found this place, with a nice

frozen water in the foreground. Immediately I knew I wanted it in a

square format. I took two vertical shots with a longer focal length

(to emphasise the distant mountain) and stitched them together. I

used 0.6 GND HE filter, CPL and a tripod. Virtually no post-

processing was done here (just a minor level adjustment). Please see

the Larger version. Your comments much appreciated.
