Lochnagar from Meikle Pap

I managed haul my carcass up the to the top of Meikle Pap. The apparent scene of a fine spring day is very misleading. It was blowing an absolute hoolie. I could barely stand at times and poked my head above the shelter of some rocks to take pictures on a very fast shutter speed. The original plan wasn't to go to the top but to get a pic from this vantage point which I have never previously taken. I am glad that was the plan as everyone seemed to turn back deciding the ridge was just too windy to be safe.

Canon EOS 7D
1/2000s f/10.0 at 18.0mm iso400 full exif

Dramatic, inspirational capture in such difficult conditions.
Hope you got a warm fire and hot drink after.
It still looks cold despite the weak sun.
Brilliant work.

A nice capture for your effort, Chris. Yes, one can see the white caps on the water and tell that the wind is not an asset on this day.
