Buachaille on fire

This was a great reward after a pretty nothing day photography wise, plain skies had been the order of the day for a while but as the evening drew in this day some high cloud started to appear so I thought I'd head out to Rannoch Moor.

Rannoch moor yeilded a few good images but the midges were just beyond belief and even with a headnet it was completely unbearable by the water, heading back North the sky was getting really good so I deceded to set up by a location i'd found at Buachaille Etive Beag, an often overlooked mountain as it's sister peak Buachaille Etive Mor gets all the attention usually...

In a location like this it was a bit of a toss up whether to go tight into the mountain with a longer lens as using the wide angle can sometimes lead to the mountains getting loast in the scene but I'm pleased with this composition and glad I went wide with this shot to get more sky in and use the large forgeround rock to provide an anchor for the scene.

The sky got really vivid as the sun dropped low down hitting all the lovely cloud, some of which is wisping over the top of the peak to great effect, providing a dramatic backdrop to the mountain and casting warm light onto the foreground.
