A Tale of Three Shots

Sunrise on Lochalsh looking towards a snowy Carr Brae (Canon EOS 5D 106 mm, 1/125 sec at f/11, ISO 100)
Today was a mixed day of walking the dogs, dashing down to the shore late morning to try and catch a shot of an otter, then off to Inverness in lovely sunshine.  This meant I had three distinct opportunities to get a decent shot.  The first (above) was taken from the beach at Glaick while out with the dogs this morning.  The next one (below) is probably the best shot I managed of an otter which was fishing just below Craggan Cottage at Glaick.  I used the Canon EOS 500D for this one.  It has a cropped sensor so with the 150-500mm Sigma DG lens that produced a 800mm zoom which meant I got a pretty good reach - great lens.  The light was not great as I was looking into the sun but I am pretty pleased with the result considering.  Finally, I stopped again near the Bunloyne junction on the A87 on my way through to Inverness.  There is a nice stand of birch trees which i have meant to try and shoot for some time.  Today the light was good with clear bright blue sky and snow on the background hills above Cluanie Dam.  I am not sure the stems came out as clearly as I would have liked but it worked OK.
