[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Again out playing with the D300 and the new Nikon 16-85 VR zoom lens. This is beautiful Loch Eck In Argyll yesterday morning.

Alongside the A815 road north of Dunoon sits Loch Eck which resides within both the Argyll Forest Park and the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. It is a fresh water loch about 5 miles long (see Fishing) with magnificent steep wooded hillsides around it. Within its depths are found the "powan", a freshwater herring trapped in the loch when glacial moraines blocked the outlet to the sea. This survivor from earlier ages is found only in Loch Eck and Loch Lomond.

Another great exercise in natural lighting and natural colour palettes.

You're still setting the standard Doug.

Am also insanely jealous you've upgrade to the D300. I've not had my 200 very long, but I feel techno-envy already!

Great shot.I should say,after some long time,i am seeing an amazing photograph in this website.Well conceived and taken.

Thanks

Hi Doug
First time visit to your gallery and not the last. I believe you had the D300 set on vivid. Really makes the colors jump off the screen. like what you have done with your FG - tight focus and perfect DOF.

Thanks for the recent visit.

hello Dougie,
you have captured a beautiful light and created an attractive composition.The foreground tree stump is perfectly placed and it does not stop the eye from wandering along the shore to the blue hill beyond.

Bev
