Big Ben
Nikon D7000 16-85mm at 16mm ISO 200 1/60 at f11 handheld VR on.

Another summery picture! Ben Nevis from the upper slopes of Am Bodach taken in August this year. Am Bodach is a Munro literally on my doorstep and is a regular walk for me. This weekend the Ben has been swept by gales up to 100mph and has a dump of snow on it. Summer seems so far away just now! :frown: All C & C warmly welcomed.

Hi Nick a vice view but the W/B looks a bit off to me.

Just seen the piccy on another screen and it does look too warm. Thanks Phil, will play about with it later and maybe re-post.

Nice picture, just a bit green :)

the clouds in particular do look a little green. Otherwise it is a nice scene, though it perhaps lack an obvious focal point?

Stunning to havce this on your door step. As mentioned the colour is out but a pleasing scene, would benifit from a focal point, I would go back out with the snow. I would love to be there now ... :toast:

A cracking picture Nick, it brings back memories of my mountaineering exploits. I have climbed every peak vissible in the frame and did the 'Ring Of Steall' on my last day there.

Hi Nick, lovely vista - wow what a back garden to have! W/B already mentioned but I'd like to see a little of the shadow lifted to reveal some detail in the slopes on the left and, possibly, a slight crop to sky and RHS of the picture.
