Thanks, Thomas. As long as the weather is kind, you won't be disappointed.

A gathering of the Clan McMorgan in Applecross - from my iPhone today.

My Skye files did require a bit more pp than is normal for me, but they mostly look ok.

And as humble as ever

Great series Dave, really enjoyed them.

Great series! Enjoy seeing!

J.A. - good to hear from you, and I'm glad you liked the series.

Fons - the same, and I apologise from being absent recently from your posts/comments.

A final few images from me, looking for some with a different mood (also known as "scraping the bottom of the barrel") -

1. The ruined church - better comp and rendition.
2. Duntulm ruins.
3. Pinnacle, Faery Glen.
4. Farmyard, Trotternish.
5. The Shiant Islands with the mountains of Harris behind (500mm tele shot).
6. Last sun on Loch Harport.
7. In Mallaig harbour.

Thanks for the additional images! I love the ruin shots and the ripples reflecting the setting (?) sun.

The third image of the second set is interesting, but I'm not sure if I have a reference of the scale. Do I see sheep here and there?

Erik Lund · « **Reply #22 on:** May 16, 2017, 14:09:02 »

Wonderfull

I'm sure that all in the last set would print amazingly in large print!

David Paterson · « **Reply #23 on:** May 16, 2017, 15:27:44 »

Thanks, Akira and Erik.

Akira - no, the scale is much smaller than that. The white things are patches of lichen (the pinnacle is ~20m tall).

Erik - I have printed only a couple so far (on A2), and am quite pleased with them.

LOL! Thank you for the details.

Dave - as always an phenomenal series. First shot is exceptional in so many ways framing, colour, texture, sharpness. I personally like #5(Ruined church at Hinnisdal) and #8 (Looking south from Struan) a lot from the first series and "In the interior - Trotternis" from the second series.

David Paterson · « **Reply #26 on:** May 17, 2017, 09:05:03 »

Anirban - Thanks for the kind comment. Your choice of favourites is interesting and not what I might have expected; but similar to my own choice.

David. Thank you!

I love the Isle of Skye. You took me on a joyride there. Thank you.

My last visit was in the Film Days, a detour from my reporting on the Field Programmable Logic conference in 1999

Thank you, Frank. Until just a few years ago, I could truthfully say I had been on Skye every year for 25 years. That record has slipped a bit, but I was there in 2016 and now 2017. I love it.

4. Monkey tree, Dunvegan Castle
