Long Drop
On a visit to my archives, I rediscovered this shot - a location you have to really want to get to, requiring at least a 30 minute uphill pathless slog into Coire Sgreamhach to reach here. As with a number of Skye waterfalls, photographing it is a challenge. It is found in a steep-sided gorge, making access problematic. As it was, I was standing with the tripod just about over the edge. The waterfall is huge - this image shows less than half of the vertical drop. It is possible to capture the entire long drop using a vertical panorama, but I ran out of light! This was taken just before the light on the hillside was lost and the landscape looked very drab indeed!
