A short walk in Glen Ogle
« on: February 11, 2018, 16:10:09 »
Large swathes of the Glen Ogle forest have been "harvested" (clear-felled) but there are still good things up there. A 90min. walk with my D600, 18-35 and 70-200/4 lenses.

Nice walk David, not too much snow I see...  lovely contrast in your photo's.  The forecast is for light snow all week I think.

Heaving it down here, a whiteout on our way back from town, almost had to stop.

Love #2!

In a way, #6 is one of the most DP-esque types of images to me.  I always wonder which actually inspires you, the overall wallpaper-like texture, the hidden rhythm of the intricately repetitive pattern, a play of fine geometry?

Yes - the weather forecast suddenly improved for us up here and some of the cold and wet stuff took a more southerly track. Yesterday and today have been perfect winter days and you could have been in Scotland with your son after all; a pity.

What I like is the image which only reveals itself slowly, or sometimes suddenly but only at the viewer's second or third look.

We have the whole week ahead of us yet...

Am monitoring the Loch Tay Moorings webcam, the snow seems to have receded a tad.
