I hadn’t been on this ferry for years and all of a sudden it has become a regular crossing, so I thought I would share it. This particular shot was taken with a Nikon VR 300mm lens handheld at F8 – I think you agree it is reasonably sharp – I will publish shots of the lighthouse in it’s situation but I am waiting for certain combination of weather before I do. I had intended to publish some of my property work but that will have to wait as I am out and about too early tomorrow – enjoy

Is that the new 300mm F4 or a 300mm f2.8? Hand holding the latter is more of a challenge.
Murray it is the F4.5- F5.6 VR 70mm to 300mm – the VR is really very good gives you 2/3 stops of light to the standard lens.
Clarity abounds. As for lazy, I can’t comment, but I will state for the record that this is one fine shot!
Lovely! Lighthouses are such fun! Can’t see a thing wrong with it being handheld.
Handheld with such along lens is plain lazy lol – I couldn’t be bothered getting the tripod out – just plain lazy
To be honest, I can never be bothered with the tripod. Ever! 😉
I use mine every single day when shooting property – always on the timer – we never use flash
Hmmm… sounds like something I did for a bit back in the early 70s… back in the 35mm days. It was rather fun. Never made much money at it. 🙂
I love it – and they cross my palm with silver what more does one want than to be recompensed financially to take landscapes all the way home
What a wonderful setting. I’m off to wiki to check the date of the buildings! I’ve never been to that area but it’s on my list – I even have the OS map of it which is a start… RH
I can suggest several locations in and around here if you want RH
I have used that crossing once on the way to Arisaig – very envious that you should have reasons for crossing regularly!
I am amazed at how busy the ferry is and how fast the water flows through the narrows
Corran is one of those milestones on my journeys that says …”Hey we have arrived in Scotland and the Isles beckon” . Whilst it is far from being remote your image creates a great feeling of strength against the elements on a rugged rock….lovely mood. I wonder how many passing will note the War memorial on the hillside?
Thanks David – I have finally caught up with work post Norway and I am starting to enjoy my roadside shots once more – looking forward to getting in and out of the car without a bunnet on ma heid. – I have seen Corran in so many cracking lighting situations but not had time in my schedule to stop. but with longer days imminent I will start out earlier to create the opportunity. My geography is improving too which should also create other shots
Yep…it is encouraging, every afternoon the light stays with us that little bit longer. Shorts and T-Shirts soon (well for us in the south that is!) (-:
That was decidedly regionalist comment – so unlike you – while it is in my head are you aware of a fellow blogger Lyle Krahn (Krahnpix) if not I recommend him – real quality Canadian Wildlife
Well maybe I spoke too soon. Lovely morning yesterday then Armageddon in the afternoon, hatches battened down and lights on by 3pm….now should I build that ark?
It’s stunning here the wind has gone 😃
Not started the ark…….the rain is easing
We definitely need lighthouses like this on the prairies!
ha ha a typical LK comment
I’ll take that as a good thing.
It’s a lovely shot, and a really beautiful lighthouse, Scott. 🙂
It’s a wee stubby Sylvia – but in a lovely location -which I hope to show soon.
