Having now returned home from a fantastic week's landscape photography in the truly beautiful region of Assynt in Scotland (far north west, have a look on the map. I stayed in Lochinver), I am now trying to edit an image or two.

 

Here's a capture of a gorgeous boulder bay at the hugely photogenic Achnahaird Beach. The water level was just right to have me shoot it at five seconds which not only softened the water down just beautifully, but also retain texture in it too which was important for me. I could have shot it at thirty seconds and gone for a complete long exposure but I find myself steering away from extreme long exposure shots these days. I certainly do not use my ten stop filter half as much as I use to do that's for sure.
