Cairngorm Caramel

A long lens version of an earlier shot, you get more mountains but less of that delicious sky. Once again it is shot in winter and their is a thick coating of hoar frost on the birch trees at the perimeter of the frosted stubble field. The light was almost caramel coloured at the extreme ends of the day and contrasts quite beautifully with the blue tinged snow dusted mountains of the Cairngorms near Aviemore Scotland. Same set up as previous shot but with a 200mm lens on a Pentax 67II and Velvia.

lovely shot, works much better than the wider one in my opinion. Much more simple, more impact.

Ian, both shots are spectacular, but I think I'll go with a 16x24 of this one. It's just awesome. Congratulations. :toast:

That is a very nice landscape. I did not see the original but this disserves more comment.
Cheers

Ian, this one is every bit as beautiful as the other version (which I see made it in the Editor's Pick- congratulations :smile: ) With this one you give equal emphasis between the sky and the land.

Ian before I read your comment I was trying to identify the "color" of the warmth you captured here and I just couldn't put my finger on it. Then you mention "caramel" and it was like YES that's a perfect description.

Beautiful capture of a lovely scene in wonderful light!

Ian,
There's just so much detail that carries you through the image. The light, as always, is wonderful. Congrats on the EP!
