Skye

Weather has been pretty crap recently, therefore not so many photo opportunities.
So I've revisited some raw files from a visit to Skye, and worked a few images that I hadn't processed.

All with a canon 1DS MKII,

1st. With a canon 100-400 L. Larger image here: http://www.lesmclean.c​o.uk …te/VK0I0032_fil​teredx.jpg

Hey Les
is that the Eilean Sionnach lighthouse at the south/east of the island?

Yep

Beautiful Les. I like the tones of #1 with just the lighthouse for stronger colour. #3 has great impact although I wonder whether a smidgeon more on the bottom to move the boat away a bit from the edge might have helped. The ramp to the pier on #4, and especially because of the UWA, gives a great lead-in to the photo.

#3 for me Les, definately. But you have got to love Skye nice shots all!

Fabulous photos! - my vote goes for the 2nd, 3rd and last. I think you've used that 17-40 well.

3 and 5 for me Les - they are peaches

Hmmm,i`ve been dreaming of a sunrise up there with snow on the mountains and....hmmm,keep dreaming Dimitri,until March that is.
I`ll pray for the weather.

Thanks for posting these Les great pictures. I love spending a time with my camera in Isle Ornsay. It's amazing how the mood changes depending on the weather and really like the effect of the dusting of snow on the mountains.

Absolutely stunning photos, thanks for sharing them with us.

super great photos --love them all...

They are all great shots, but the 3rd is my favorite - I like the boat.

Shaun

I'm trying to pick a favorite, but I can't! I love them all.

I like your use for the ND grad in the 3rd, we can still see all the detail inside the boat, AND in the sky! Nice choice of a filter. Did you use this filter in any of the others?

Also, what was your shutter speed on the last? You really pulled off the effect well!

And you didn't process these earlier why??

Seriously though these as always with your images are superb. Skye is my favorite place in the UK and I visit there as often as I can.

Lovin' 2,3,5. Great compositions, exposures, and colors. They're definitely "Lesmac" shots. I can't think of anything I'd change for those. #1 and #4 don't do much for me unfortunately, they're technically good photos but the other ones really blow them away. Good work buddy.

Edit: I take my last sentence back, #1 is growing on me, I'm warming up to all the empty space.
