A loch full of stars.

A very reflective Loch More.

This was meant to end up a series of 60 second shots to make up a star trail but it ended up pretty naff looking so heres a single 60 second shot.

ISO 2500, F4, 17-40 lens @ 17mm.

[StarryEyes]

I am lost for words it is that amazing

Dont suppose you have a link to a high res version of this do you? ie. 1920x1080 that would make my desktop look superb!

[Black Knight]

Stewart, you've done it again. Another very fine photograph!

[Psychobilly]

Wonderful...

The clouds and LP just add to it...

You certainly make the most if you location :thumbup:

Stunning pic! Awesome composition, the milky way draws the eye to the horizon and then you see the reflections in the water - fantastic!!

Must make the effort to get up to Scotland again this year.

[cloudbuster]

absolutely stunning Stewart...u bring something a little different to the astrophotography table!

[Steve 1962]

The others have already said it all - just stunning.

You sure do have an eye for a subject Stewart.

This masterpiece is typical of the wonderful pictures you produce.

The Water of the Loch must have been mirror like, but did you see the potential, and wait for the opportunity, or was it just waiting for you?

Whatever the answer, the result is worth a Photography Award.

Brilliant job :icon_salut:.

[wolfgang.f]

Fantastic picture! I love the composition with the Milky Way spanning across the night sky and the reflections in the water. Just perfect :-)

It was flat calm when we got to the loch but I waited about 3 hours till the Milky Way had moved nearer the top end of the loch, being so calm and relatively warm it want much of a hardship waiting:D

Thanks to everyone for your comments, quite surprised at the responce because I thought twice about posting it, want sure about it at all.

[Crunchard]

What a load of rubbish ... ok ok I am telling an absolute whopper there!

That is an excellent photograph.

It comes across as peaceful, yet at the same time awe-inspiring.

Thank you for sharing!
