Rannoch Moor Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello everybody after a long break :)

I'm back again with some new photos to show you

Let's start with one of my favourite places first

-= Black Mount, Rannoch Moor, Scotland =-

When the Sun finally illuminates this place you may feel like being in another reality :)

I know this place is such incredibly popular and that tree is photographed maybe 20 times a day - so you may be sick of watching that again, but there is something magical in this place that drives me here all over again.

I was trying to capture this spot in a bit different manner than usual. The weather was simply amazing. Hope you'll like it.

When it comes to technical spec :
16mm, f/10, 1/8s, CPL + GND 0.3 SE, tripod + my irreplaceble wellies :)

Hi Piotr, you have certainly done it justice. Fabulous composition, colours & detail. Excellent DOF and very nice foreground detail. Very, very good. Regards, Roberto

Hello Piotr
A piece of art
Well constructed with the rock in one corner and doing a diagonal with the other rocks and the land.
You must have used a polariser as the clouds are well contrasted and there is no light reflexion on the water allowing us to see through.
The Highlands,a place high on my list of places to visit.
Have a good weekend.

Welcome back Piotr, your absence didn't go unnoticed :-)

Superb opeening, I can't wait to see what else you've got for us.

Love the foreground, so sharp and detailed. The overal composition is intimate, rather than a larger than life hightland vista, and I like that a lot - please in the details

Cheers
Craig

Fantastic shot Piotr! Rannock Moor is one of my favourite places also but I'm yet to capture it as well a you have. Would love to know where on the moor this spot is.

Great work!

Regards

Robin

Another great photo. Would like to see all of the big rock on the right. The leaning pine really adds to the photo.
