Image Details
This was taken in late January on a day of mixed fortune, with the weather gradually worsening. I stopped on the hill above Stromeferry on the southern shore of Loch Carron to watch the ever changing cloud formations and the play of light and shade on the hills to the north of Lochcarron village. Loch Carron is on the Scottish north-west coast.
I find it difficult to know in these circumstances when the 'best' formation of light and shade has occurred and generally take a sequence of photographs for evaluation later, often much later by the time I get round to editing the images. What drew me to choose this one from the sequence was the dramatic silhouette of An Ruadh Stac against the light and crowned by a dark cloud. I also liked on the right the illuminated wispy cloud contrasted with the gloom that it is set against.
