Reflections of Dropping Light, Isle of Lewis

Reflections of Dropping Light, Isle of Lewis, originally uploaded by www.bazpics.com.

As we drove back from Stornoway on the East Coast of the Isle of Lewis using a small single track road the water of the small lakes was perfectly still, glass-like in appearance.

We initially thought about stopping the car and getting the tripods out to shoot the scene perfectly, but with the glass-like water comes millions of midgies which were all after our blood.

We had to think fast - how to capture the scene with minimum exposure to the midgies...so we then drove at around 5mph along the road which runs at the edge of the lake, shooting out of the window as we drove along.

Well worth the extra hassle to get images like the above.
