Photography notes:
This image was taken whilst being eaten by midges at 8pm, just before the sun slipped behind the hills. Shooting straight into the sun I have used a .9ND Lee filter on the sky (http://www.leefilters.com/camera/products/show/ref:C4756C9720849C/). This in turn has allowed me to expose for the shadows, thereby keeping the foreground detail in the picture. In post production I have used Nik Silver Efex Pro (http://www.niksoftware.com/silverefexpro) to convert to black and white.
Location:
We returned again this year to Inverlounin House at Loch Goil (http://www.inverlounin.co.uk), for two weeks of outdoor pursuits. The beautiful deepwater loch is a great retreat for anyone who enjoys, sailing, fishing, swimming, and seal spotting. We were somewhat surprised to look out the window one evening to find a moored submarine ( Vanguard Class ) with six armed pilot boats surrounding it.
I was commissioned to do the website photography for Inverlounin House and this can be seen by clicking HERE.
