Captured somewhere in the North-West Highlands. I lay down on my stomach to get the shot. Meanwhile I could hear the low growl of a truck in the distance, slowly ascending the hill. I had misjudged the sound to distance ratio badly. After firing off a few frames I nonchalantly got to my feet just in time to see the truck suddenly appearing over the brow of the hill. Had it been seconds later I wouldn't be writing this.

Sunset scene from the road between Llanuwchllyn and Dinas Mawddwy. I seldom set out to do landscapes. I just don't have the patience to sit for several hours waiting for the clouds to part to get the light 'just right'. No waiting required for this scene, though. Several people have asked me if the sky really was such an intense colour or was it achieved in post-processing. No, it really was that colour. Fuji Superior 100 produced accurate, vibrant colours and it's such a pity it was discontinued a few years after I captured this scene. A well-photographed view of Glencoe receives some experimental post-processing. The usually stark but unusually green landscape near the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, following a 5-year long drought. Taken at sunset. |
