Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from the roadside of the A82 which crosses Rannoch Moor. The photo is of Lochan na h'Achlaise

Time

This was taken early morning during February as the sun rose over the mountains behind us creating a fantastic burst of light over the snow filled Black Mount

Lighting

Natures lighting at its very finest. Dawn light in the sky and as the sun rose over Rannoch Moor nature switched on its lights. The sun greater a warm glow and light struck the snow covered mountains.

Equipment

Canon EOS 40D, Sigma 18-125mm lense. Manfrotto tripod. Shitter release and numerous layers of thermal clothing.

Inspiration

I live in Scotland and it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. For a very long time I have wanted to catch a sunrise over Rannoch Moor. Many trips have been ventured from home in all hours and conditions without success but it never stops me trying

Editing

Processed RAW image in Adobe Camera Raw to lift contrast level and a slight saturation adjustment.

In my camera bag

Everything needed and a lot unneeded.

Feedback

Perseverance is the name of the game. Always keep on trying and be patient. It will pay off and nature works for you.
