As promised, a return to Scotland for more reflections. There is plenty of water from which to get a mirror effect in Scotland, the trickiest bit is having the wind rescind sufficiently to gain a reasonable reflection. Here are some occasions that I was fortunate enough to be presented with such opportunities.
The first photo was an amazing experience as the Loch really did act like a mirror. Ten minutes later and the wind was stirring again and ripples across the loch tore the mirror apart. Timing really can be everything.
For the same Loch on another day we gained the following view:
- Loch Tay Moorings
For the final Scottish image this week we have to go to the Great Glen and Loch Lochy, a little south of the better known Loch Ness. This area seems to do reflections pretty well.
From these images it strikes me how much clouds add to reflections.

Fantastic reflections, such beautiful photos Mick! I remember the story of Loch Ness Monster from English classes. 🙂

Like I said, most people are familiar with Loch Ness, but if I said Loch Lochy it would mean nothing to most. You must get some great reflections over there in Finland – well when the snow and ice have melted anyway. MM 🍀

Great images, Mick. The first is surreal and gorgeous. I am puzzled that you managed to find calm days and the sun shining…..that’s powerful magic that you have.

Saw the reflections, stopped the car and jumped out. Ten minutes later the ripples were back and the image nothing like as good. Timing (and power obviously). MM 🍀

And thus, the importance of ALWAYS having a camera at hand!

I still do not agree with this. It’s a bit like the mobile phone – sometimes it is nice not to have any sort of intrusion into the scene at all, just enjoy it and not think. Just a very personal opinion. 😃
