Cellphone shot from last year's honeymoon road trip. The quality suffers slightly in the sagebrush, but the sky and mountain light came out so well I thought I would post it regardless. Quite a bit of PP work - mostly rinse/repeat sharpening and noise reduction.
Great part of the world I would recommend to all and anyone. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Highlands Trail (Creag A' Mhaim), Glen Shiel
Two versions of a shot from the side of the road with the full moon lighting up the ridge bookended by Creag a' Mhaim. My preferred above is a 79 second exposure of three passing cars, though the shorter version (below) is a little moodier.
The peaks are front lit by the full moon, with the car headlights lighting the grass and chevrons. There's a line down the side of the mountain (see note) which appears to have been created across the valley by the headlights. If anyone knows whether that's possible or if there's a strange fold in the slope, I'd be interested.
Looks great on black in lightbox - if you can tolerate the grain, of which there is plenty!

Aonach Meadhoin, Glen Shiels
Two pictures from Saturday. They're cell/mobile phone photos, which I'm always reticent about posting, but I didn't fancy carrying the full package along what was planned to be an epic ridge walk. In the interests of full disclosure I have to say that the summit of Aonach Meadhoin was the only munro of the day. It turns out climbing these beasts out of season requires skill and steely nerves - which I need to work on...
An amazing day nonetheless, with great weather, and the iPhone turns out to be an acceptable companion. It's strange using a phone for pictures after a few hardcore months of SLR. The key challenge is that, on the iPhone at least, composition and exposure are one. Rather composing then judging exposure, you compose and are shown real time how it will choose to expose. Interesting juggling act, and fun to see real time the decisions it is making as it meters for your chosen frame.
Queerly it doesn't like the rule of thirds - the best exposure for landscapes seemed to be pitching the horizon halfway up the frame. Setting it to a third exposes sky or land extremely harshly.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and apologies that I am behind after a few days away. Looking forward to catching up.
