I've spent the last 4 or 5 weeks, mainly in vain, chasing that elusive light that is often so desirable in a landscape image. I've spent 3 weekends in a row trying to get a particular shot of sunrise over the Three Sisters in Glen Coe, Scotland. On each trip I have travelled long, slept little and not got the shots I'm after, I've admitted defeat on this particular shot for the time being and will wait until Autumn when I don't have to get up at 03:30 am!

I have been persisting though even when the cloud formations and light haven't been as expected or wanted. I took a quick look at an old favourite secluded tarn recently in the Borrowdale valley and managed to get a reasonable shot of the tarn's character even though the light didn't turn out as wished for.



I quite like the understated atmosphere and sense of calm in this and the lack of direct lighting has made a mellower feel perhaps. I must remember not to be too picky about the lighting conditions and attempt images in all conditions!
