Project 52: April Evening by the Braes of Balquhidder

[billtils]

Spent Sunday afternoon at Balquhidder, one of our favourite spots for a drive and a bite. This is one of Scotland's lesser known classic areas, for scenery (the hills/mountains, or "Braes" in Scots) and history - it is Rob Roy country.

I've never taken a sunny day "touristy" shot there, partly because I like the dark moody atmosphere that you often find, especially away from Summer season. I have chosen this shot for a few reasons: it fits the "Project 52" theme, it is moody, I processed it in DxO Photolab not my usual (and preferred) Capture One, and I was motivated by Donald's "I know colour" .

Whey hey. I know that loch. If folk look at my hill and Bill's hill, they're the same one, but from the other end ....if you see what I mean.

Nicely captured.

Nice work Bill. Great sky, great light and a nice sense of depth.

Yep, I thought it was familiar! I've taken one or two from "your" end but none as good as yours.

Thanks John and Dave.
