We climbed Ben Lawers in 2004 and the mist cleared before us. Just as we climbed over the saddle into the Corrie the sun came out and so a bit of photography was possible. The wind though was quite persistent and even with a reasonable shutter speed the blur can be seen. This is very frustrating when you know you won't be able to return for a year or so. The left hand picture was taken with a 3 megapixel Olympus.
And so to a year later on an unusually hot day in 2005. The very first breeze started as soon as I took my camera out to focus on the Alpine Forget-me-nots which were magnificent at this time of year but I did get one reasonable shot. The right hand photo was taken with a Nikon 8800 - no colour correction needed here.
