Sentinel

Lone tree near Blà Bheinn, Isle of Skye

 

Another 'shout out' to Skyeweasel for showing me this tree. You can shoot it from any angle but this is the one I preferred. It seemed the branches somewhat mirrored the shape of the mountains in the background. The snow on the top was a real bonus for me.

 

I took a whole load of single shots with the 15-35mm lens but in Landscape I couldn't get the height I wanted and in portrait I could not get the width. I took a chance with shooting a 5 shot pano with a lot of overlap as there was a very slight breeze. I had to do a very small amount of blending with a single image where the ends of a branch had moved slightly but hope I spotted it all and have 'fixed' it. Let me know if you spot anything which I've missed.

 

Even if I say so myself I really liked the scene and another big thank you Louise for showing it to me.
