Nice stream, Loch Creran


About half a mile north of Barcaldine on the shore of lower Loch Creran is a lay-by where I was able to walk onto the beach and take this shot looking north west towards the hills above Kingairloch on the far side of Loch Linnhe.

There had been heavy snow this week but it didn't lie for long at sea level. On Saturday I had a drive up tidal Loch Creran a few miles north of Benderloch to get these shots. There was a bitterly cold strong wind blowing from the east so taking multiple exposures with a metal tripod was fiddly with frozen fingers. Each of these images was HDR processed from three originals.
