Loch Cill Chriosd

Looks like a heart!!!

The problem (and the plus) with being a landscape photographer is those early mornings, even in the middle of winter. I was 15 minutes too late for this one because my bed was warm and cosy and outside it was blowing a snowy gale. Still the color was still good, and it was a lot calmer here. Tomorrow I'll be on time :o)

Loch Cill Chriosd with Beinn na Caillich in the centre background.

four tails trying to catch up slowly says:

doesnt matter what time you take pixs.But you are talking about dawn & sundown for the magic time.weather wise a stormy day with great light against darken skies works well.the colour & light of sunset-rise (plus after glow) is always going to be hit & miss due to movement during the year and time and of coarse it happening.........like the shot....colour,sky,reflection

Kenny Muir says:

Unbelievably good Scott. The lighting is perfect, and it doesn't matter that much missing those first 15 minutes when you come away with something as useable as this (but I know the feeling). It will only give you determination to get back out there and take more!
