Another Cracking Sunny Day at Balmacara

It was such a beautiful sunny day today that I just had to get out with the camera.  Normally I don't particularly like taking photos on days where the sky is completely blue, with no clouds as they tend to look a bit bland and uninteresting.  However, at this time of year when the autumn colours are really beginning to show the contrast against the bright blue of the sky can work really well.  I used a Circular Polarizing Filter (CPL) on most of these shots.  Some of these may well feature in a new slideshow we are preparing this winter for the Plockton Visitor Centre for next year.
