Lower falls Glencoe

By hwatt  
This is another spot that I am irresistably drawn too. I like the way the falls is framed on both sides by the hills. I found it particularly attractive following a summer cloud burst. I used a soft ND grad filter to equalise the foreground / background lighting and was pleased with the way the low clouds punctuate the hills.

Everything comes together to make a brilliant photo- Light, colour, viewpoint, enough time to blur the water...

Fabulous.

Hi there, I really like this pic. Great exposure. I am looking into buying a grad ND filter - what type is yours as the result is fantastic (I know experience/talent is a big part too). Paul

Great example of dealing with moving water - very nice composition too

The filter is a Hi Tech 0.6ND grad,these are a great choice for wide angles due to there size (no vignetting) they are also slightly cheaper than some other makes. I recommend using 0.6ND and 0.9ND grads with a hard edge rather than a soft transition however careful use is essential.

Wonderful sense of movement in the water and I love the way that cloud is caressing the mountain peak. Excellent image. Well done.

Lovely shot catching the light correct in the glen...we were there on Sunday and got some reasonable shots in the snow but it needs a high sun to get the best in this location. Great work.

Ian, thanks for your comments on my Buachaille picture. I struggled to find a favourite out of your selection, there were so many! I settled for this one in the end. Stunning image with incredible detail and clarity. I just can't believe my bad luck that I've missed it!!
