Wilderness People.
Two people in a mountain landscape.
Location: Rannoch Moor, Scotland.
Date: February 22 2010.
Kit: K10+ 50-135mm lens at 58mm.
Exposure: 1/800 sec at F13.
ISO: 200.

Now I'm undecided, some of the set work better in black and white for me, particularly the broken window but I think the first one is better in colour. Either way it's a great set of pictures.

Well done Andrew. You have documented this well. I wonder if Emma has a valid point - would they look better in gritty, contrasty black and white?

They may be only two entries so far but they are both crackers. Well done ladies. I will have an entry but not as good as either of these.

Thanks for all your comments. Alan (Spider), Ken (Gartmore) those are deff. Highland Cattle not Aberdeen Angus. I think they are sometimes called Kylies. Long horns, long hair to keep the cold out.
The freezing temparatures gave me a lucky break with atmospheric conditions. I was just as excited by the atmosphere at Grangemouth for the industrial scene as I was in Glen Dochart for the mountains and frost. I know not everyone is turned on by cooling towers and chimneys but I find the man made environment just as photographically rewarding as the natural landscape. Alan and Pentaxophile appreciate that one at least. It was worth getting quizzed by security and police officers for photographing a massive petro chemical complex.

Very impressive Aiki. I'm amazed you can get frost crystals like that with a kit lens.

Scotland isn't all about mountain scenery. There's also dramatic industry.
No. 1 is Ben More and Stob Binnein, near Crianlarich.
No. 2 is hoar frost in Glen Dochert.
No. 3 is modern industry, Central Scotland.
