Photographer’s Note
Taken on the Firth of Lorne just below Clachan.
I used a coarse white stocking on a frame to diffuse the highlights.
In photoshop I added some grain to give it a more filmic quality.

Richard,
I just found your work a minute ago and am impressed with your portfolio. This image instantly reminded me of a high ISO film for the quality of the grain. If that was the intention, you succeeded! It's definitely impressive. The water in the left foreground reminds me a bit of tin-foil. The sky is very overbearing offering a feeling of a gathering tempest. A very moody image for sure.
Quality work!
