Loch Bad a' Chrotha

[weepete]

Came across this beautiful loch one evening while going for what turned out to be a cracking lunch at Badachro. I would have stayed and tried to compose a few more shots but the midges were out in force so I just shot a few panoramas until I could stand it no longer!

Very nice wide shot!

Thanks K9Kirk! I'm thinking I pulled the shadows up a bit too much on this one now. It can be difficult as I'm shooting to preserve details for the edit, then I'm editing on a gaming TN panel which isn't ideal as it's a bit too much colour saturation and depth in the blacks even when calibrated. I also use the histogram quite a lot to judge exposure in the edit but I've not quite nailed reading them enough to really get the placement right.

I don't analyze pics that hard so as an amateur it looks fine to me.

I'm happier with this one
