Oban at Night

2012-01-02T18:24:00.003Z

I always believe that oban becomes a more vibrant place when lit up at Dusk,for example the tower is almost hidden amongst the similar coloured granite houses in daylight,whilst after dark it becomes the symbol of Oban glowing in the night sky like a beacon.That is why it must be floodlit at all times.This has not been the case ie for the winter festival display,Its oban,s eiffel tower,its oban,s whitehouse,the sydney bridge,its obans blackpool tower,it represents Oban!!

This is another of the images taken last sunday at Tralee -bay holiday park this time using a very wide lense and back-lit reeds on the lochan in this well kept holiday park.When taking autumn shots in particular,shooting against the sun (back lighting) gives a great effect which allows the light to penetrate through the leaves.
