All images from past days I've had another crack at since the weathers been so wet and windy.
These two are from this time two years ago, just as I was about to head to France 2years ago. History repeats itself as I am off to France Monday AM
I wasn't thrilled with the lack of sunlight and rushed the processing thinking I'd get something better - well two years later I haven't. I tend to shoot at Glencoe far more and two years worth of felling has taken it's toll on the landscape.
I gave this a bit more work and I've got it to where I want it to be. Some sunlight would have really made it for me though but going back now you'd really see the effects of the logging on the mountain.

This shot of Tigh mor I planned to do in the Autumn - and I have but I've never had a reflection quite as glassy as this. I had hoped to get this sort of reflection with Autumn colours but two years on and I am not quite there with that. The summer greens have grown on me as I've come to appreciate summer more and more with each year - summer and autumn really are my favourite times of year. I actually posted this on here two years back and was told the original rendition was a little flat, and it was but I was keen to keep the etheral feel of the morning. With this one I've just increased the black point and contrast more, it's not quite got the soft gentle mood of the 1st but for me it does pop more and still rests easy on the eye. Given how unlikely with the felling in the area and general crap weather I felt it wise to really process it again and so more with it.

This shot of the boat house I've showcased before but still had another run at it. It's a cliche but it's a really gorgeous spot.

The other shot I took this day was a telephoto one. I decided to crop it 4x5 and take off some of the bottom. It feels less tall and narrow cropped like this and for now am happy with it. Ideally it would be mill pond still but there's been times it's been flat but the mist has been too heavy to get the distant view in ok. I feel with mist that a little is best, I don't want too much of it in the image.

A bit like this shot of Tigh mor. Lovely bands of wispy mist and not a pea soup like the times I went the year after but sadly it hasn't got the mirror like reflection of one, which is what I really want. I gave it another run, just because I was bored.

Just too finish off, Ben A'An. I entered it to LPOTY. It didn't get anywhere but the more I view it, the more I appreciate this morning.
