Keltie Bridge

I'd posted a few from this glorious morning a while ago, but I came across this one as I'm using it for an online talk I'm doing next week, and decided to share it on here as it's been a good while since I posted the others..

Loch Rusky, Trossachs, on what turned out to be a real classic morning weather wise....

I did wonder at the time whether or not I would get away with it with keeping the light source in the frame as the sun had broken the horizon and the majority of the mid level mist had gone further along the Loch..

Adding some extra interest in the scene the lone fishermans boat had been left in a very thoughtful position for sunrise, and it's not often you beat a fisherman to a fishing spot in a morning, but this was around 5AM..

After having shot sunset and moonrise here the night before it was only a 6 hour wait for sunrise, and the one thing I was hoping for was mist...

As I walked down to the loch it was pretty much everything I had wanted conditions wise, little patches of mist along the lake, at this point the sun had yet to come up over the hills and as I was shooting I could see more creeping in from the left, I turned around to see an absolutely enormous bank of mist rolling in off the hills onto the Loch, which completely enveloped the 2 little fishing boats.

Really pleased with the images from this place and for once couldn't have had any better conditions for what I wanted.

As one door closes another opens.. so they say, and it was certainly the case here, just as the sun had dropped...

Fantastic lighting conditions and timing on this day allowing for this shot of the moon just rising over the hills as the sun has set leaving the Loch in beautiful pastel colours with the water perfectly still allowing for great reflections, all I had to do was wait and hope the boats drifted a little more so they were seperated and weren't fouling the reflections in the horizon, and after a while thankfully they duly obliged.

For a day with hardly any cloud I really couldn't have asked for anything better.

After Loch Rusky I stopped off for a wander in some woods on the way to Callander.

Another discovered archive shot that hadn't been touched before last week, this was taken almost 2 years ago to the day so a great time to post it.

I'd slept in the car this night on the side of the Loch after shooting sunset the nigfht before, this was pre sunrise and the Exif tells me that I was up bright and early this day as it was shot at 0409 in Morning (or night depending on which way you want to look at it !)

Just as I got to the shoreline this morning an enourmous bank of mist rolled in off the mountains covering the Loch and far shoreline, as if by magic! coupled with completely still water so the boats didn't move made for some stunning shooting conditions.

It got even better when the Sun had come up which I think is why I never got around to processing this shot as I went straight for the golden light images, if anything now though I like this just as much.

I've called it 'silence' as it truly was one of the quietest places I'd ever been, you really could hear a pin drop, only the odd bird waking up to shatter the peace.

You can see the condensation on the boats if you zoom in :-)
