Raw
Looking down the gorge from the lower bridge, Falls of Bruar . I’m particularly impressed by the colours and the smooth glistening rocks.
This area is rich in geology (an extension of the Loch Tay fault?): there’s a lot of limestone and other metamorphic sedimentary rocks (layered slate, possibly some schist) and a bit of red sandstone nearby, all folded making rakish angles.
Taken on the Shen Hao 5×4” large-format camera with Fuji Velvia (old RVP emulsion) film.

kcranmer
Absolutely gorgeous!
calico
Love this one!
Don’t know why ;) but I expect the terminator to morph out of the bottom right of this pic. It does remind me of the lower falls in Glen Nevis where the local neds oops sorry youfs jump off the bridge 20 -30 feet into the torrent below…. happy days thanks.
PigleT replied
Well, it does look like a crater, yes – ‘tis actually a gorge; the shot clips the top of a natural arch at the bottom-left corner, through which the river runs.
Youfs… I’d like to see them try it here :)
Jonicool

Stunning capture, looks like liquid metal.
Keilah Hilliard
holy crap! i didn’t even realize this was a photo at first! nicely done!
PigleT replied
ROFL Yup, indeed. Good ol’ velvia in low light – I have the original transparency as I shot & processed upstairs to prove it!
Thanks to others for comments too, all appreciated :)
Kane Horwill
great colour, contrast and use of time delay. must have been hard finding a secure spot for your tripod? nice eye for detail btw
PigleT replied
Thanks. No time-delay, just long exposure (about 8s IIRC). You can see how the tripod was set up – took a little while shuffling along leftwards to get the optimum view.
Stacy Rodriguez
Beautiful image. :)
Marinella Owens

Dawn Kwasny

stunning!

RAW is amazing, the colours, shapes and sheen… it evades scale – could be anything from a tiny rock pool to an glacial lake amid mountains on an alien planet! Wonderful image! A fusion of real-life close-up observation with escapist fantasy. (Both, of course, harness imagination).
Thanks, PigleT!
PigleT replied
Thanks – well said, I didn’t put it any better myself although I agree entirely about the sense of scale :)
For the record it’s probably about 7-10m across from bottom to top of the frame.
Hiroko
Cool view

julayneluu
really nice exposure !
Dana Roper
Incredibly beautiful!
Jan Timmons
This looks like a geologist’s dream area. Remarkably beautiful abstract, as well. That is quite a tripod setup. Fascinating waterflow – a very long exposure?
PigleT replied
Yup – it’s the north-west end of the Loch Tay faultline, I think. About 8s exposure.
PigleT replied
Er, north-east end, even! D’oh
PigleT replied
Oh yes – about 8 seconds as I recall, as measured by “that feels about right”. The usual juggling of film reciprocity-failure and motion-blur and stuff…

So beautiful, it takes my breath away!! Regards, Carolyn

Thanks :) Not bad going for failing light :)
