I've got someone booked in for a three day workshop next week, just hope we get conditions like this rather than the relentless overcast misery we've had over the last eight weeks.

Beautiful images Steve, especially like the first with the reflection and the foreground interest underwater!

 

[Paul Cronin]

for No.1

Super reflections Steve. It's nice to see some real ones as there seems to be a fashion for some dodgy PP'd ones on FB nowadays.

Both nice Steve but the first stands out. Lovely image of The Buachaille in it's own right but the reflections just top it off with the rocks underwater. Lovely.

I'd be seriously miffed if you told me these were Saturday past as I had toyed with going up early doors but talked myself out of it as the weather didn't look too promising.

Taken Tuesday evening. Saturday last and the one before was dire

Is that really Glen Coe? I've only seen it once when there wasn't torrential rain and cloud on the ground, and that one time it was getting dark. I really like the first one. That's a lovely sky that just adds so much interest to the overall image.

I love both but no 1. Best. I would Dec book a workshop if closer. Just checked erbsute . Right up my street. .. but down s Wales.

 

[Stu Meech]

Both lovely shots, Steve. But I think you have better versions of them

That's OK then, I couldn't have gone anyway.

I'd agree I have better of the Torren Lochan. It suits an earlier summer. IMHO the 1st one is the best I've had at this spot.

 

[Kevin O'Brian]

Hi Steve been waiting for these after that forecast given for area, as always stunning!

 

[Carl Hall]

Love the reflection in the first one, and that you can make out the rocks and stones under the water

 

[Peter B]

Great photos Steve and congrats on getting this great weather after all the other times you've suffered a lack of good light. Hope the sun was enough to keep the midges away as well, even without a breeze.

Wasn't too bad. Light breeze. In the first image I was taps aff as it was so warm. I wrote on my blog that most landscapers prefer more challenging conditions. Not me. This was perfect. 20c plus heat, lots of sunshine and beautiful sky in a beautiful place.

It doesn't get better.,

Very nice work as usual Steve, and with your signature reflections! Lovely colour's in No1 nice balance! Is it me or does it need a tiny tweak CCW? just looking at the roof line but then that roof might not be straight, Just my OCD
Nice symmetry in No2 and cracking reflection

I suspect I am not fully perpendicular to the building. The in Camera level had it dead straight but I am not perpendicular, a compositional oversight on my part

It's really really nitpicking though Steve, i have a good eye for level, its just a pity i don't use it for my shots! I have no room to comment Steve, if i had walked away with a shot like the above i'd be over the moon
I'm just jealous of those that live near such stunning surroundings
