COLOUR STUDY NO. 7 - TREES ON THE TURN

Due to a landslide washing out the road at the The Rest and Be Thankful, the drive to Ardrishaig and back had to be taken the long way around. The good news was that the colours of the countryside were a joy - along Loch Lomond, up to Crainlarich, over to Tyndrum, Dalmally, and finally Inveraray and Ardrishaig.

The day was light but not bright and either lightly raining or just about to. Nevertheless it is always worth stopping just for a minute and 'have a go' at taking a photo.

Looking at the variety of colours of the larch and other mixed forest near Tyndrum made me pull over in a lay-by, get out of the car and point the camera at the hills across the road.

Number one photo is the original one.



Number two photo is 'adjusted for level' using the histogram. While brighter it is a different, not necessarily better, photo because it is missing the misty, mosity romantic dampness of Scotland!
