Square Symmetry

Symmetric reflection of mountains in Loch an Loin, Wester Ross

I just had to stop beside the road and take this perfect symmetrical reflection of Sgurr a Gharraidh and Creag Ghlas in Loch an Loin, Wester Ross. Taken on the Hasselblad 500C/M with Fuji Provia film; using square format allowed me to visually "offset" the white house with the boulder in the foreground, leading the eye round to the distant mountain peaks.

Technical details: Canon EOS550D, remote release cable, an image every 3 seconds for a total of 105 frames.

Partial Solar Halo

Timelapse video of a partial solar halo in cirrus cloud toward sunset.

One of the more commonly encountered atmospheric optical phenomena, a 22-degree solar halo is caused by ice-crystals (typically associated with light wispy cirrus cloud) refracting the sun's light, giving the effect of a circular ring spectrum like a rainbow, centred on the sun. I saw this one as I was driving along the side of Loch Lochy as the sun had set below the level of the mountains on the other side of the loch. After shooting a few stills, I thought it would be interesting to watch the
