Slippery Slope

Gallery: LandscapePosted November 7, 2013351 views9 comments

Shot on a rather precarious spot in the Scottish Highlands under conditions not too many non-photographers would consider ideal for landscape photography.
The soft light allowed the beautiful colours to appear with neutrality while low lying cloud was perfectly positioned to add a brooding mood but not obscure the peaks of the Three Sisters.
Shooting this stream over moss covered ledges was a slippery task indeed!

Kah Kit, it seems almost unique how you chose a vantage point above and upstream from the cascade, when falls pictures are normally captured from downstream. It's a beautiful setting, and I can't imagine any improvements.

Kah Kit, I like what you did here very much. I think it is interesting that with your long exposure the foreground with moving water and the background mountains and low clouds have balanced out with a very cool effect. The mid-ground is sharp while the softness blends in from the top and bottom. Very nice work on this!

Love the perspective here, can't think of anything I'd change. Fine work as usual.

This is cool! Love the perspective and atmosphere. Highlights seem a tiny bit bright...or not

Anyhow--two thumbs up!

Great POV and composition Kah Kit. Beautiful colors in this especially the fore ground. I like how the softness in the fore and back pull me into the middle of the scene. Really well done.

wonderful mood here, Kah Kit. I like the water movement as it takes me into the scene all topped off with that low lying cloud cover over the mountains. Beautiful work!

Great comp, mood, and color. The light ain't bad either.

Beautiful work.
