PERTHSHIRE NOVEMBER LIGHT

Driving back to Glasgow on Sunday afternoon I stopped at the side of the A9 dual carriageway to take a photo of this valley looking west toward Dunblane.

These following 3 photos are As Is, no doctoring with Photoshop.

First, I took this photo looking eastwards - blue skies, golden fields.

Westwards - 4 pm and getting dark.

15 minutes later.

These 2 photos below were simply used as an experiment in doctoring a photograph:

The same valley and orientation but no sunshine. I tried to lighten the river and puddles in the field. (The main river is untouched; the puddles are 'dodged'.)

I stopped on Main Street, Buchlyvie, outside The Pottery Shop to listen to the end of a BBC Radio 4 interview. While sitting there the sun was fading behind the church, with a clock face, further along the street.
