Loch Fada Sublime

Loch Fada, Skye, Scotland

Sublime was the only word to describe the perfect morning and stunning reflection that formed over a reed bed at the southern end of Loch Fada. I just loved the complex pattern of green spiked reeds bursting through the blue reflected waters and decided to emphasise the contrasting colours with a gentle application of a polariser and a slightly stronger ND grad filter to neutralise the abrupt fall off in light in the near foreground. The result is pretty well balanced and nicely reveals the needle of the Old Man of Storr on the rocky escarpment doubled up in the reflection.

Polariser backed off to around 40%, 0.3ND Hard Grad in conjunction with a 0.6ND soft grad pushed deeper into the water to reverse the fall off of light in the immediate foreground. f/22 at 1/2 Second full exif
