Loch Tarsan is a reservoir, dammed at both ends, not far from Dunoon. I've started to play around with the settings on my camera a bit (baby steps so please bear with me) I took this on aperture priority at 22. I'm pleased with it in that I think the focus is much sharper throughout the image than any other shots I've taken with this camera, but it's more or less wiped out all the detail in the shadowed area in the foreground. Any advice on how to set up the shot so that doesn't happen would be much appreciated, for example would I have been better doing a slightly longer exposure with a lower iso, or a much longer exposure with a tripod and filter, or something else altogether?

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.
The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.
Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.
Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

So alt wie das Vermessungswesen, so alt ist auch der Wunsch die gemessenen Ergebnisse in Zahlen und Karten darzustellen. Leider wurde die Vermessung in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten auf Grund von politischen Verhältnissen oft nur kleinräumig und inhomogen betrieben. Die Folge waren unzählige, unterschiedliche Bezugs- und Koordinatensysteme, die einen Vergleich von Messungen über Grenzen hinweg sehr erschwerte. Doch auch in der heutigen Zeit, und dem Wandel des Vermessungswesens hin zum Einsatz von satellitengestützten Messverfahren, ist diese Problematik aktueller denn je.

It was a really wonderful day at the end of September but very cold and frosty on top of the mountains.
Mount Evans is a 14,265 feet (4,348 m) mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54 fourteeners (mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet (4,300 m)) in Colorado, and the closest fourteener to Denver. It is often compared to Pikes Peak — another Front Range fourteener within a short distance of a major city — which it exceeds in elevation by 154 ft (50 m).
The peak is one of the characteristic Front Range peaks, dominating the western skyline of the Great Plains along with Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt. Mount Evans can be seen from over 100 miles away to the east, and many miles in other directions. Mount Evans dominates the Denver Metropolitan Area skyline, rising over 9,000 feet above the area. Mount Evans can be seen from points south of Castle Rock, up to (65 miles (105 km) south) and as far north as Fort Collins (95 miles (153 km) north), and from areas near Limon (105 miles (169 km) east). In the early days of Colorado tourism, Mount Evans and Denver were often in competition with Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs.
Summit Lake is a tarn which sits at 12,836 feet (3,912 m) altitude in a glacial cirque on the north face of Mount Evans and the east face of Mount Spalding. To the north, there is a col (12,855 feet/3918 m altitude) looking down into the chain of two cirques holding the Chicago Lakes at the headwaters of Chicago Creek. By one count that includes several unnamed lakes, Summit Lake is the 13th highest lake in the United States. In 1915, the USGS reported that Summit Lake was the highest lake in Colorado, at 12,740 feet. Later secondary sources occasionally report it as the highest lake in the United States.
The land was acquired by Denver in 1924 and incorporated into the Denver Mountain Parks system. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in April, 1965. (Wikipedia)

Verbier is a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. It is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area, which includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon. Verbier is recognized as one of the premiere "off-piste" resorts worldwide. Many top skiers have settled in the resort in order to take advantage of the steep slopes, varied conditions and vibrant nightlife. Verbier is also a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson, Diana Ross, James Blunt and The Crown Prince Couple of Denmark: Frederik and Mary.
Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.
Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.
The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.
The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.

The City of London is a city within London. The City constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the conurbation has since grown far beyond its borders. As the City's boundaries have remained almost unchanged since the Middle Ages, it is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of Greater London, though it remains a notable part of central London. It holds city status in its own right and is also a separate ceremonial county.
It is widely referred to as the City (often written on maps as "City" and differentiated from the phrase "the city of London" by capitalizing the word City) or the Square Mile as it is 1.12 sq mi (2.90 km2) in area. These terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's financial services industry, which continues a notable history of being largely based in the City.
The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation roughly corresponding to the London region, also known as the Greater London administrative area, comprising 32 boroughs (including the City of Westminster), in addition to the City of London. The local authority for the City, the City of London Corporation, is unique in the UK and has some unusual responsibilities for a local council, such as being the police authority. It also has responsibilities and ownerships beyond the City's boundaries. The Corporation is headed by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, an office separate from (and much older than) the Mayor of London.
The City is a major business and financial center, ranking as the world's leading center of global finance. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business center, and continues to be a major meeting point for businesses. London came top in the Worldwide Centers of Commerce Index, published in 2008. The insurance industry is focused around the eastern side of the City. Another major financial district in London is located at Canary Wharf, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the east.
The City has a resident population of about 7,000 (2011) but over 300,000 people commute to it and work there, mainly in the financial services sector. The legal profession forms a major component of the northern and western sides of the City – especially in the Temple and Chancery Lane areas where the Inns of Court are located, of which two—Inner Temple and Middle Temple—fall within the City of London boundary.
♫ Heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek ♫

This was shot at 200 mm from a commercial flight. So the sharpness is not the best. Had to add a lot of noise reduction.
I have tried to point out some of the peaks but if you find any mistakes please correct me.
The area is called Horrongene (Hurrongane) and is one of the most popular area for mountain climbing in Norway.
Store Skagastølstind is the 3 highest peak in Norway at 2405 meters.
William Cecil Slingsby (1849-1929) was an English mountain climber and alpine explorer from Carleton, North Yorkshire. Born in Bell Busk, near Gargrave, Yorkshire, Slingsby first visited Norway in 1872 and fell in love with the country. He has been called the discoverer of the Norwegian mountains, and the father of Norwegian mountaineering (insofar as he seems to be the first who actively pursued climbing in Norway and was the first person on several mountains). Together with Norway's early skilled mountain climber Kristian Bing (1862-1935), he is considered to be have been a pioneer explorer of Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in continental Europe.
Slingsby is perhaps most famous for being the first on "Storen", or Store Skagastølstind (2405 m) in 1876, the third highest mountain in Norway. It was considered impossible to climb then, but Slingsby defied popular notion and climbed the mountain, for the last part alone. His crossing of the 1,550-meter-high (5,800 ft) Keiser Pass, Norway, on skis in 1880 also helped inspire the sport of ski mountaineering.
He also spoke and wrote strongly about several other mountains for example Slogen. His classic book on climbing in Norway, Norway: the Northern Playground, was first published in 1904 and republished in 1941. A new edition was released in 2003. It is considered worth reading for those mountaineering in Norway, even today.
Slingsby was an honorary member of Norsk Tindeklub and of the Norwegian Trekking Association.

A Câmara Municipal de Malmo encontra-se mencionado pela primeira vez no ano de 1353 . Esta estava diretamente a norte de St. Petri uma igreja belíssima bem juntinho da atual Câmara , entre o cemitério e a Adelsgatan, que era a mais velha praça da cidade. Em conjunto com a Reforma na Dinamarca o poderoso prefeito Jörgen Kock mandou construir no seu solo a atual Grande Praça, uma obra iniciada em 1538 que se tornaria na maior praça dos países nórdicos. Malmo foi nesta altura uma das maiores e mais belas cidades da Escandinávia, um forte motivo para que o seu povo construí-se uma nova sala de visitas que se transformasse no orgulho desta bela cidade.
Na década de 1530 começaria então a construção de uma nova Câmara municipal no canto nordeste da antiga praça. Este edifício pode ser visto como a maior expressão arquitetónica da ambição e ousadia dos políticos e dos burgueses de Malmo durante o Renascimento. Em 1546, o edifício que foi construído na sua totalidade em tijolo, com janelas panorâmicas de estilo gótico ficaria pronto para ser usado.
A Câmara Municipal, que é a maior prefeitura erguida durante a Idade Média, é um edifício de dois andares, com uma cave que ainda mantém o seu estilo de 1500, enquanto o andar de cima recebeu em 1800 uns arcos magníficos e muito finos em estuque . Este grande salão no segundo andar evoca as salas de espelhos no palácio Francês de Versailles , e é o lugar escolhido para as grandes celebrações. No mesmo piso há também o Salão Municipal das reuniões do Conselho, assim como um salão de beleza exclusivamente destinado apenas à realeza, embaixadores e outras personalidades de destaque.
As seções mais bem preservadas da prefeitura são as partes mais antigas, que consistem em contrafortes que hoje abrigam um grande restaurante. A Câmara Municipal, desde então, tem sido objeto de inúmeras alterações, mas a sua estrutura na praça principal é praticamente a mesma que nasceu durante os dias do Renascimento.
No decorrer dos séculos XVIII e XIX o edifício foi ampliado para oriente, tendo também a fachada voltada para Stortorget sido alterada. Na década de 1860, quando os novos regulamentos municipais introduziram na Suécia a industrialização, o edifício foi drasticamente redesenhado de acordo com os planos do arquiteto Helgo Zettervall. A fachada foi transformada no atual estilo renascentista Holandês. A Câmara Municipal também recebeu um interior ricamente decorado que se encontra em grande parte preservada. Um edifício que merece uma visita não só pela sua beleza arquitetónica mas também pelos inúmeros tesouros que abriga…

Panorama view on our way (Mt Evans Rd) to Summit Lake and Mount Evans in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado.
The Front Range is a mountain range of the Southern Rocky Mountains of North America located in the central portion of the U.S. State of Colorado and southeastern portion of the U.S. State of Wyoming. It is the first mountain range encountered moving west along the 40th parallel north across the Great Plains of North America. The Front Range runs north-south between Casper, Wyoming and Pueblo, Colorado and rises nearly 10,000 feet above the Great Plains. Longs Peak, Mount Evans, and Pikes Peak are its most prominent peaks, visible from the Interstate 25 corridor. The area is a popular destination for mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and camping during the warmer months and for skiing and snowboarding during winter. Millions of years ago the present-day Front Range was home to ancient mountain ranges, deserts, beaches, and even oceans.(Wikipedia)
