Title: Two from Loch Lomond, in Scotland
Post by: Vieri Bottazzini on October 22, 2020, 06:09:51 am
Loch Lomond is a beautiful loch, and I love to stop there on my way from Glasgow to Glencoe & the Isle of Skye, when I have a chance. Here two sunsets on the Loch, taken two years apart. First, a 2020 image, 3/5 of a second taken with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters:

Followed by a older image, this time a 1/5 second photograph taken with my (then) Leica SL, Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters:

Very different feelings for these two superb shots. For me, the second one has a slight edge probably because of the peaceful mood. In the first image, the partially submerged tree gives a very powerful and strong element.
Well done, again.

Both are very nice but my preference is for the tranquillity of the second one

Both are wonderful -- moody, subtle, and not over-processed.
