1D Mk lln, 600mm f4, 1/500s, f4, iso 400.

Final one. The Cairngorms can produce some magnificent light. This was taken on a late winter afternoon with low cloud and mist, and the pink hue is natural, not added.

Another good one Ian, I thought I'd commented on the other one but must have forgotten to press the button. I think I prefer the first one to be honest.
