skye view

Looking north from ardnamurchan peninsula to the hills of Skye.

The white diamond signs mark passing places on this typical single track road.

Taken on an old waterproof minolta (handy for the scottish climate!) I’ve hesitated to post this as its not great image quality. However I have a soft spot for this escapist view (bluetacked to my office wall for those ‘im outta here’ moments!)

Untouched

    You might find it is a better quality than many a digital print as film resolves very well.

    I’ve always believed that d.o.f. should stand for ‘depth of feeling’ rather than ‘depth of field’.
    And this has great d.o.f. (by either definition ) – but more so the first! :) A lovely restful shot!
