Spring Melt Buachaille

Buachaille Etive Mor, Glencoe, Scotland

Spring melt dribbles into the rivers and forms tiny cascades as they drain into Rannoch moor. This view gives a slightly distorted perspective of the mighty Buachaille and despite the lovely sunshine and laser blue skies it isn't my favourite time of day to shoot a scene such as this but the big plus is that the sun is high enough to penetrate the deep hole in front of the little cascade and that gives rise to detail below the water surface. A case of making the best of the conditions I had.

Polariser backed off heavily from maximum effect to minimise uneven polarisation of the sky yet make the water more transparent. 0.45ND grad, 3 stop ND grad to get the exposure down to F/22 at 1/2 second to render the waterfall at my preferred speed. full exif
