Scotland's GREEN loch 

Thanks Douglas! It would be a great place to camp!

Thanks! haha - I'm going to start promoting the new job soon. I'm told I'll be top of the bill !

Thanks James!

Thanks Jim! haha - true!

Thanks! Was lucky with the timing and the weather! Could have done with a bit of sunshine but that probably gives me an excuse to go back!

Thanks! :)

Thanks Dianne! I might take some biscuits with me next time, try to keep them a little more involved!

Its a great spot! The woods on the walk in are great too!

thanks! :)

Thanks Jonny. Unfortunately I shot this a few weeks ago, but I'm hoping to get back up this way soon so I'll make a point of visiting that area. Thanks!

@@JohnMcKennaPhotography No worries. I even bumped into Joe Cornish yesterday 😲📷!!

Oh wow! I hope he recognised you! @@johnnymac544

Thanks Jeff. I had toyed with the idea of climbing higher and shooting down into the loch but the arrival of all the people put me off. Do you have to go far up the hillside?

​@@JohnMcKennaPhotography I gave up , by the time I had finished trying to find a decent comp the place looked like Gourocks outdoor swimming pool 🤣

haha fair enough!

Thanks SImon! First time there, but won't be the last!

haha - they'd have been disappointed I didn't have any food with me, so things might have got ugly!

thanks! :)

thanks! :)

Thanks Iain. Aye I was lucky with the timing all round as it started to rain on the way back to the car. Torrential by the time I reached Aviemore, so I think the early start paid off in more ways than one!

Did you get my email response to latest newsletter. It seems to have gone and then bounced back again. Nothing important in it. Just unloading over someone totalling my car 😫@@JohnMcKennaPhotography

@@iainmc9859 no i've not had any emails from you. That doesn't sound great. No-one hurt I hope?

Amazingly no one hurt. She took out my car, a row of Rhododendron bushes and a Scottish Water sub-pumping station. Going too fast and possibly hitting the accelerator rather than the break at a junction. I waited for the police and the water board, she moved her car and hid it in an underground parking bay. The police were still looking for her when I was uplifted by a tow truck three hours later. Luckily I got photos and her name before she disappeared.@@JohnMcKennaPhotography

The green colour comes from the fairies washing their clothes in the loch.

thanks! Two reasons for the aperture choice. I wanted a soft focus feel on the images as I thought the colour looked quite surreal so I wanted to give the images a bit of an "other worldly" feel. I was also using a lot of close subjects as foreground interest so I wanted the maximum possible depth of field.

Superb images. Thank you for sharing this with us all Sir.

thanks! @@b.2221

It is well worth a visit. I've not seen Henry Turner's video yet but a few people have mentioned it, so I'll be watching that tonight!
