I was so excited when I saw this opportunity, in the words of Julia Robertson at her first operatic experience in Pretty Woman, "I almost pee'd my pants". The back lighting on the birch trees atop a grassy knoll in the shadow of Blabheinn was simply incredible and the snow dusted slopes ensured that there was rare textural contrast to the mountain backdrop and then as if by magic two sheep crested the grassy hillock to graze and an excited wee lamb bounded and sprang with all the joy of Spring, rimlit by the sun. It was probably my fastest ever landscape shot and I instinctively composed and fired, I guess I could have included all the birch trees but that one bit of colour on the hill just felt instantaneously about right. Twas transient light at its finest.
