Isle of Rum

Looking back to the Isle of Rum and the Cuillin mountains from the deck of the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to Mallaig. This was the first clear day after 8 days of rain and storm. Taken with Provia 100 film through a Nikon FM2N + 28mm lens and polariser.

Isle of Rum

Deer Tracks on Kilmory beach, Isle of Rum. Somewhere in the haze and rain clouds in the background lurks the Isle of Skye.

Spent some time pondering purchasing a variable aperture zoom such as the 70-300mm VR before our trip to the Isle of Rum.
Eventually took my 180mm/2.8 and a manual TC200 2X converter. On the D200 this gives the equivalent of a 560mm f5.6. I used that to take this photo of a duck? (Does anyone know what it is?)
Settings 1/500th f5.6 ISO 125
