Loch Lochy, Scottish Highlands.

PhotosEcosse

Loch Lochy, Scottish Highlands.

A scene I have often passed by, but either the light was wrong, or I didn’t have the time.
On this occasion, things fell into place, except for the fact that I had left my tripod at home !! DOH !! (on a shopping trip for provisions to Fort William !)
It is a hand-held three shot hdr, because of the extreme lighting.
Loch Lochy is reputed to have a “monster” like Loch Ness !

Shot on my Canon EOS50D, iso 100, auto wb, three RAW’s at -2EV, +2EV,0EV, hand held braced against a bush for added stability, Canon 17-85mm IS lens set at 53mm, f11, processed in Photomatix, then Adobe CS3, with colour adjustments, and more selective levels / curves.

    I just love this image – it is an immediate fav and it just makes me want to go back and see a little more of Scotland. I was up there a couple of weeks ago but so much of the time racing from place to place or driving on the motorway. Need a driving/walking holiday. Fabulous.

    Once again, the gentle touch making a pleasing image. One slightly under exposed RAW converted 3 times is another way to get your base images if no tripod.

  • PhotosEcosse replied 19 days ago

    Yeah, I think I have converted every which way with various images…...I guess there are more ways than one to skin a cat !!
    Thanks for the compliment David !
