Taken with a high ISO due to very little natural light. The bokeh over the wall lamp is due to the fronds of the plant hanging over the wall lamp.

A quick three minute 'Photo Stop' our coach driver gave us ! -- pity about the barbed wire strands-- there was no time to climb over. A small amount of SUNSHINE at last in Scotland while we were out -- usually the sun came out just as we had returned back to the Hotel for dinner ! - I held a Yellow-Green filter over the lens for this.

I put into practice everything I learnt through many years in Camera Clubs-- the man is on the 'Intersection of Thirds', there is a 'lead-in line' of the white flowers and 'Recession of Tones' in the further mountains ! -- Let's see if a Judge agrees when I do a print for Brentwood Photographic Club next print competition !

the Witches' Pool-- if you sunk and drowned you were NOT a Witch, if you surfaced and survived you WERE a Witch and were taken and burned at the stake --- a 'No-Win Situation' !

Pity the words on the plinth are in Scottish Gaelic,a language I didn't do at school and my Latin was no help, so I could not translate the story !

I used full aperture on the 50mm f4 CFi Distagon to see how sharp it was-- I had to hand-hold camera at 1/30th sec. as the light was poor.

taken though a moving coach tinted window as we were going into Glencoe on the way to our Hotel in Fort William -- the coach driver would not give us a 'photostop' !

I was lucky to have had the 18mm with me I think on this trip. Not easy manually focusing in the slot canyons with their tricky light I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks guys. This light is only available in Antelope Canyon at 11am and last just a few minutes so I had to work fast. Of the 50 or so shots I took in the Canyon only about a dozen shots turned out.

Hi, Thanks! Actually I had to borrow this lens for Antelope Canyon. I had a 14-24mm, but all my other lenses were zooms in the midrange. I felt I might need another extreme FX wide lens so I grabed the Zeiss 18mm for the day for this shoot. Love those National Parks! ^_~
