We had a weeks holiday in the highlands of Scotland last week, this is the first time we have been back since I really got into photography.

Below is just a small section of images, a couple of which I have played around with (the sunset ones are pretty much out of the camera but I'll explain with each shot).

1. Best first. Taken on a 13 second exposure with Dark Sunset filter and Tungsten white balance to get the effect.

2. Similar viewpoint to above but without filters

3. From the other end of Loch Ness, just before a storm hit

4. A used a Day to Night PS filter on this, thought it looked quite good

5. This one just looks moody
IMAGE: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2759/4047351893_6c47bddde3_o.jpg

6. And finally, the most photographed place in Scotland, Eilean Donan Castle, this time at night. If you've seen the movie Highlander, you've seen this castle

I'd love to know what you think of the image and the processes used on those I have played with.

Cheers

wow they are all very nice but #5 is amazing, looks like a painting, not in a bad way by any means, that should be on a wall right in the center!

A beautiful set. I'm a little put off by the dark left side to #1 and absolutely love #2.

The color is just amazing in #1, and #5 is different but I like it. One day I hope to set foot over there, one day!

Gorgeous pictures!! What a coincidence: I'll be seeing the Highlands for the first time next week! I notice Loch Ness in your pictures. I was wondering, um, is it possible to walk to the Loch's eastern edge from Inverness?

Cheers everyone for your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Fuzzmuffin, Inverness is just a few miles north of Loch Ness so is walkable but not sure how long it will take you. I recommend two stop around the Loch, Dores at the northern end and Fort Augustus at the southern end.
