14 October 2014

After having had such a great time last year I decided to book two days with my guide Wayne Keenan.

“Unfortunately” the weather was too fine. No mist, no storm clouds, no dramatic lighting, so I had to contend with scenic photos that would look great on a calendar or chocolate box! Total output of “keepers” was considerably less over the two days when compared to the one day last year. Still had a great time and I would return again as the landscape is unique and non touristy. The day after we left, the roads were closed by a heavy snow storm -so I should grateful for having made the journey. Its so hard pleasing a photographer!
