Loch Leven

Every now and again I go back to a location I’ve scouted out previously and attempt to get that elusive shot that I’ve pictured in my mind but never quite manage to catch. Today’s post is a revisit to the location of a nice little island near the edge of Loch Leven. My vision was for a misty morning with a light fog on the water but with the colours of the sunrise creeping in from behind giving some warmth and tone. A few weeks ago I posted a ‘very’ misty version of that vision but with no sunrise. That version was received with much better feedback than I expected and I have grown to really like the image. I dismissed it at the time primarily because it didn’t meet the brief but that would have been a mistake. Today I post the sunrise version of the island but alas there was no mist on the water to provide contrast to the far shore. I like both images in their own right but neither quite makes the grade in meeting my idea of the perfect shot. I’ll have to keep an eye on the forecast again and look for those perfect conditions and maybe I’ll get it just right next time.
