Lower Diabaig - Torridon
I almost left here with my tail between my legs, couldnt get a composition I was happy with. The old wreck has ran aground close to the shoreline and its quite a tight cove. Theres really only one place to catch it from to get some clear sky behind it.
The water was about 2 feet deep so waded out and wedged my tripod into some big rocks. Its a 5 minute exposure with the black glass filter on. After setting the shutter I waded around (up past my wellies) firing the flash gun (from behind a black jacket) to try and throw some light on the boat. I have a mono version thats probably better, will post that soon.
Not sure how much difference the light painting with the flash did but it kept me moving and with the cold seawater over the top of my wellies I 5 minutes in there can feel like a long time
