Mark Amphlett “It was a very overcast morning on Loch Awe. The forecast was for mist, and I was hoping for a light covering around the lake; instead the whole area was covered in thick, low-lying cloud. My initial images from that morning were very flat. I waited for around an hour and chatted to a fellow photographer. In the end my patience was rewarded, as a tiny break in the cloud illuminated the castle and brought the whole scene to life. As often happens with beautiful light, it only lasted around two minutes.”
