In the shelter of the bay, the water grew even calmer, barely stirred by the lightest of airs. The low winter sun was not far over the ridge of Beinn Eighe as I drifted the canoe over the mercury surface of the loch, the low cloud acting to diffuse the light.
Choosing to shoot contre-jour, I found this image of Eilean Dubh na Sroine,in near silhouette, almost perfectly mirrored on the water. Beinn Eighe sits on the horizon, hiding in the haze. It is, I think, one of my strongest images from 2015. Certainly it brings me back to a unique day in a beautiful and unique location.
