About
A savage late Autumn frost had taken a toll on the brittle stems of bull rushes, causing them to stoop and collapse into the reflective stillness of Blairs Loch in Forres, Moray, Scotland. That alone would have not merited so much attention had it not been for the wonderful lighting reflected off the clouds and playing over the skeletal trees around the water's edge. A shot that has always pleased me for its unusual patterns and bold colouraton. Pentax 67II, 55-100 zoom, 0.6ND grad, F22 at 1/4 sec, velvia.
Nice picture. As I was scrolling down the page I was looking at the picture, the background got cropped out of the image. Thats when I noticed that the reeds offer some interesting angular shapes that you should try to isolate. Beautiful color.
I give this one a seven. You have used a great camera and great film. It is a shame that Velvia and Kodachrome seemed to be vanishing. I refer to Velvia 50 and Kodachrome 64. Great shot.
