Landscape photography of Scotland by Pete Barnes www.petebarnesphotography.co.uk/2011/06/29/a-few-more-sco...
The lighthouse at Stoer is in the far North West of Scotland and we went there from the little village of Kylesku. There is a nice walk along the cliffs to an impressive stack, one of many on this coast, climbers love them! Anyway you can park quite close to the lighthouse so it is at the beginning of the walk. As I was there at around noon I knew the light wasn’t going to be very dramatic so I had an idea I would do a black and white conversion. I liked the sweeping line of the beach below leading to the cliffs and the lighthouse all under a dark blue (black after the conversion) sky. I had a hard ND graduated filter on my 16-35 lens aligned to the horizon, I also put on the big stopper to slow the shutter to 30 seconds and get the water movement. As it was quite bright I couyld keep the aperture small (f/16) and the ISO low (160). I did the conversion using silver efex and tweaked it slightly in PS as I wanted a bit of detail in the shadows cast by the cliffs. I liked the rain cloud out to sea positioned over the lighthouse so I dodged and burnt it a little in Photoshop.
