These four photos were all taken overlooking Loch Arklet as it just happened we got a great burst of light around this time and rather thick heavy cloud for much of the rest of the time. The above photo has been converted to a selenium style effect while the three below are as taken.

I am very much a photographer rather than “visual artist” and therefore prefer to do as much as possible while taking the photograph, leaving post processing to be as minimal as possible. There is, however, absolutely nothing wrong with taking a mediocre photograph and then processing it so heavily it ends up looking great, quite frankly I would like the skill to be able to do that myself at times!

I am looking to do another shoot in this area towards the end of September or early October, possibly taking in a sunset on day one and sunrise the next. A little more generous weather would be great so I can cover the area better … we’ll see what happens.
