Location
This photo was taken in the Cairngorms National Park in northeast Scotland over the Christmas New Year period, climbing the mountain Morrone, and looking westwardsTime
This was taken in the early afternoon, but at this latitude and in typical Scottish winter weather, there is little light...!Lighting
A very low sun is out there somewhere filtering through the overcast sky, lots of low clouds providing a moody atmosphereEquipment
This was taken with my Nikon D90 and a 28-300 mm lensInspiration
The road stretching away into the distance in the mountains, with the low cloud and low light gave a very Lord of the Rings feel - Frodo and Sam trekking through the Misty MountainsEditing
Very little, just enhancing the contrast slightlyIn my camera bag

As always, go out in bad weather!! There will always be moment when it breaks up and an image jumps to the fore
