Softly Lit

[Dave (Isle of Skye)]

I was driving passed this viewpoint the other day and just happened to look over to my left and saw this lovely warm soft light on the mountains and hills, so threw the car into a mad swerve (after checking the mirror to see if I was alone on the road of course) and dove out of the car, threw on my 70/200 and just caught the light on the hills and peaks in a pano as it was beginning to fade. So yes it did look even better when I first saw it, but at least I managed to catch some of it

Good one.

Worth stopping for.

[Peter McLennan]

Worth stopping for.

Totally.  All hail the 70-200 and Dave's unfailing eye for the lovely.

Perfectly soft light combined with the smooth lines of the foreground hill and the jagged peaks in the distance.
I like it a lot, bravo.

Thanks everyone 

Yes I wish I had been there and setup just a few minutes earlier, but hey, you just have to take what you can get in this game don't you?

And yes the joys of the Canon 70 -200, it really is a sweet lens. I have two lenses that always go out with me every single time and a slew of others that do a lot of gathering dust at the side of the computer. But whenever I go out, I always have the 16-35 mounted on the camera and the 70 - 200 in its carrying case over my shoulder and there isn't much I see these days that seems to need anything more than that.

Thanks again everyone.

Refreshing to see a nice natural image.  So many images in this section are over-processed to death.

Thank you and yes I suppose we are all guilty of pushing those sliders around too far occasionally.
