Loch Tummel

[Ken Rennie]

Loch Tummel is the next Loch up from Loch Faskally about 10 miles on a typically narrow twisting road. The light was flat but this allowed the detail in the trees to stand out. Ken

Looking at the above I noticed what initially looks like a better crop, Comments?

Fully polarising the water to darken it and darkening the sky makes the tree colour pop.

Tuurning round is always a good idea

Jaw dropping reflections Ken - I really like how this set worked out. I love the first scene and your cropped version is even better. Polarizing the water makes the reflections really stand out. Beautiful fall colors.

Very nice fall colors and reflections and the foggy atmospherics really make these captivating.

What a fun location Ken!

I like #1, but I think I like the crop in #2 better. I think that's my favorite of the bunch. #4 I think would be my second favorite.

One thing I will mention, I think you need a faster shutter speed on these. The movement at the top of that one tree in #1 and 2, had me going for a bit. I actually had a thought that maybe you flipped it 180 degrees and the top of the image was a reflection with some movement in it. But the movement in the leaves is visually a bit disconcerting and kind of strained my eyes because my eyes expect it to be sharp.

So in an otherwise great set of images, if I had a nit, it would be too slow of a shutter speed to freeze the tops of the trees moving in the first 3. If the leaves are moving in the last 2, it's not noticeable at least on a web version.

Thanks Jim, I can see it now. I have plenty and will see if I can find one with no movement. If not then some photoshop work needed. Ken
