Loch Etive

At the bottom of the long, winding road through Glen Etive is Loch Etive, a long body of water that opens out onto the sea at Connel Bridge by the Falls of Lorn and into Ardmucknish Bay.  In the late 19th Century Victorian tourist used to take a boat up Loch Etive to a landing platform at the estate at the head of the loch.  When I was last here in 2004 the remains of the old pier were still visible but on this trip the pier had been rebuilt to allow the foresters to load timber onto the boats to be taken down stream.

We set up near the head of Loch Etive and took these images looking south down the loch.

The following image was taken using the X-Pro1 and the Nikon 80-200 f2.8 and was attached to the camera using a Fotodiox Nikon to Fuji adapter.  I still impressed with the results from this combination and for £17 the Fotodiox adapter has to be my 'star buy' of 2013.
