Road to Applecross

My wonderful photography workshop with Colin Homes this past March in Scotland left me with lots of beautiful images. And I believe there are still some “keepers” that I’ve yet to process. (I always process my images with Lightroom and often Photoshop as well. And for black and white images — like this one — I use the Photoshop plug-in Silver Efex Pro.)

The other day I was looking through my images and saw this one. It was from a gorgeous location — on the road to Applecross — but the colors seemed a bit off.  I could have rather easily fixed them in Lightroom and Photoshop, but hadn’t felt motivated to. This time, though, with a fresh look at it, I decided a black and white version would be good. I’m very happy with the results!  (In addition to the overall look, I especially like how the low clouds are obscuring the tall mountain peak to the left of the image.)

It’s a 45-second exposure at 16 mm, f/11, and ISO 100. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop, and Silver Efex Pro.

Thanks for taking a look!
