Hey folks,
I have here Bauchaille Etive Mor, taken at around Midday on 7th November, f/11, 1/50 sec. ISO100 72mm. with a polarising filter attached.
I was driving up the A82, about to enter Glen Coe when I saw the sunlight being cast across the mountain. I stopped the car in the nearest lay-by to try and get a shot before the sun disappeared behind the clouds.
I tried a portrait to 'isolate' the mountain however, this left me with too much sky and too much foreground. I decided on a landscape with the focal point set to 72mm and took a series of photo's.
This I felt was the best one. The top picture is the original image whilst the lower picture is an edited version of the first. When editing the image, I was trying to make the mountain 'stick-out' more by increasing the sharpness a few points, enhancing the blue in the sky and increasing contrast. This helped separate the clouds from the mountain as I felt the original image looked too bland.
This is my first serious landscape photo that I have taken with my new camera and my first attempt at editing an image - What do you guys think?
