A 15m tall waterfall that runs out of Loch Gainmhich.
Getting there: There's a small parking space beside the A894 about half way between Loch Assynt and the Kylesku Bridge. Walk a rough track for about 300 meters then.
I've struggled with these falls in the past, and as I was in the area I thought I would give thme another go. These are the Wailing Widow Falls near Unapool and are quite accessible as they are only a short distance off the main road north from Ullapool. However, try as I might I couldn't get a shot I was happy with. This time round I tried various filters and exposures but still not right. So, having looked around at what other people were up to on Flickr, I thought I would try a high contrast B&W and also change the format to a square. See what you think.

Probably best if you click on image.
By way of a change, here's a reworking of a shot from a couple of years ago. These are the Wailing Widow Falls near Unapool and are quite accessible as they are only a short distance off the main road north from Ullapool. I've struggled to get a result I liked from these falls, but I've borrowed from other Togs techniques and have tried a bit of darkness and high contrast. See what you think.
The second (and thanks to a real downturn in the weather, final) location on a trip with Highlandscape (Iain) today was the Wailing Widow Falls just...

An old shot of the Wailing Widow, taken last year on a wander in. I'd forgotten some of the shots I took, and just how stunning a fall it is. ...
