Setting the mood (7:58AM) . . . Explore 17-04-2016 #3

This is a view from the Quiraing of the Trotternish ridge, visible is Cnòc a Mhèrlich, Cleat and Bioda Buidhe capped with a light cloud cover. Behind Cleat and hidden in the clouds is Beinn Edra.

 

This was a very enjoyable morning at the Quiraing as the view was in a constant state of flux. The low clouds were moving over the ridge hiding then revealing various portions of the ridge while at the same time the light was also shifting.

 

Once I capture the image I want, I am usually ready to move to the next location. This morning I was fixated on the changing light and mood and remained here for most of the early morning.

 

In this image, the clouds moving through had me waiting for the light. The clouds above Beinn Edra are highlighted by the morning light along with the face of Druim an Ruma behind Cleat. Some diffuse light is brightening portions of Cnòc a Mhèrlich in the foreground.
