Swans, Lochan
na Stainge I have to admit that this shot
was largely accidental. I'd set up the camera envisaging a panoramic shot
of Lochan na Stainge receding towards the mountains on the southern edge
of Rannoch Moor. The camera mirror was locked up and I was standing back
about to trip the shutter when this group of swans flew from behind me and
round in front of the camera. I didn't have time to look through the
viewfinder, so I pressed the remote release when I guessed that the birds
were just before the middle of the frame. The slow shutter speed has given
a soft edge to the moving birds which I think fits well against the softly
lit landscape which I have accentuated with a soft overlay.
