Fairy Pools

[-Oy-]

Just back from 5 days in Western Scotland - mainly on the Isle of Skye.

This is from the chain of waterfalls at Fairy Pools with the Black Cuillin Mountains in the background.

I like the contrast between soft, ethereal waterfalls/pool and the sharp detail of the mountains/rocks. Your technique gives it an other-world intrigue with a beautiful result.

Yes the isle of skye has a lot to offer....what doe you use to make the water look so smooth in the photo?

I've taken many pictures of waterfalls and I think only once by accident it come out looking flush like that instead of just ''water'' if you see what I mean

This was a 30 seconds exposure - using a 10 Stop Neutral Density filter to cut out the light and increase the exposure time.

Great photo!

The quality reminds me of the pictures from around the world that the folks at Microsoft include when they do a major update.
