Windy morning

Windy morning

Many people think that it is the wind that has resulted in the lack of trees on Shetland, but a change in the climate in the 18th century was the true cause. However, the high winds are the bane of the landscape photographer. That and the ever present moisture in the air. Shetland - beautiful, but challenging.

Technical details

Nikon D2X, 1/8s @ f/16 (plus large amounts of sea spray on the filter for a painterly effect!)
