    Re: Torridon Meet - Images

    Considering the conditions you got some pretty decent pictures. I particularly like the red-roofed shack, in that dull, soft light the colour really pops. However, my pick from the set is the last one, "Atmospheric Loch Torridon." Atmospheric? You're not kidding, it's fantastic light. I'd love to have that in my collection.

      It was a great trip, I'm still processing my pics, I'll post some in the next few days.
      Thanks to all for a good time and yes the real ale at the Torridon Hotel was really nice (the sticky toffee pud wasn't too bad either
      Typical as we headed east towards Aberdeen the clouds cleared and we had brilliant sunshine.

      Well here's one pic anyway...

        I enjoyed that thread and the photos are great...I didn't realize that it was in Scotland......how I love Edinburgh .... all the way up to the Orkneys...for me that was quite a trip across from John O'Groats in a bucket to the Isles!!

          Great set of shots can't wait to see more. The weather may not have been sunny but you definitely got some shots that were better for it. I'm struggling to pick a favourite but I think it's the last one. That wrecked ship is something special too.

              I agree it was a good fun weekend.
              Shame about the weather but it is the West Coast and it is March.
              I've got a few pictures I'll post once I've sorted out lens repairs.
              My 12-60 went on the blink. It seems the iris is not stopping down when the shutter is pressed.
              My favourite lens. I take approx. 95% of my photos with it and ithas barely been off the camera in 3 and 1/2 years.

              The sunrise looks better than you suggested. I'd crop a bit off the left and a tad off the top.
              The last one is very atmospheric but I'd take out the mussel beds.

                John, Bill, Phill D and Trevor - many thanks for the kind comments; I think that 'Atmospheric' is probably my favourite too (thanks to Paul2 for spotting it while I was driving!). It is probably shameful to admit that although I've lived in the NE of Scotland for over 30 years this is only the second time I have been to the Torridon area (about a 2.5 hours drive away). What I am sure about is that I will definitely be back in the short term - there are so many potential photos there. I'm also sure there will be plenty more images from the other attendees to enjoy shortly.

                  Cheers Duncan, I'll have another play in LR later (I asume the mussel beds are the string of buoys in the bottom right? ).

                  Hope you get your 12-60 sorted soon or find another example somewhere.

                          Re: Torridon Meet - Images

                          Firstly a big thanks to Steve for organising this weekend - well done Steve
                          It was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and as Steve has already stated a must for a return in the very near future.

                          Below are a few images from my weekend, the first is the last of the blue sky I saw as I headed west on Friday evening
                          1.

                          The much photographed tin roofed cottage - I'm glad no one was in!
                          2.

                          A not so 'des' res
                          3.

                          Steve and the Pauls in action - I wonder how they dealt with that telegraph pole?
                          4.

                          The boat wreck
                          5.

                          Sunrise(ish)
                          6.

                          And finally 3 from the journey home, the sun was peeping through when I reached Garve, so I just had to head for the river and give the E-1 a try

                          7.

                          From the other side of the bridge
                          9.

                          Thanks for looking - here's to the next trip
