Maol Ruadh in the Dark

It was a desk day with a few interruptions but I got the main things done. I had promised Caley an early evening stretch with the flinger and it was starting to get dark.
We went over the back garden fence and up the hill. The top of Maol Ruadh offers fine views, even in the dark as tonight. In spite of the tripod this is a fiddly operation. While this lens, in manual focus mode, offers some resistance at infinity, I am not fully confident that it doesn’t go slightly past infinity and I always feel inclined to give it a wee twist back, which should be fine at F11. (one of the reasons I used F11) The normal exposure rules go out the window too; reciprocity failure it was called in film days.
Anyway, this is the view down to the lights in the village of Spean Bridge. Beyond and to the left you can see the glow of Fort William and the hill beyond is Stron Creggan, on the other side of Loch Linnhe from the Fort. The hills to the right are the mountains to the east side of Loch Shiel at Glen Finnan.
