The Buachaille, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its almost perfect pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars.

Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m)

Nice shot, very nice to read that you used hardware instead of software for the effect

More dedication than me to be taking pictures at that time of day :)

Can't say I'm too taken with this. My attention is drawn to the foreground rock and the rest of the scene becomes background. Sorry.
