    Breathtaking. Truley beatiful. And people say I must be mad to walk the
    distances I do. I only wish I could show them pictures like this, and go
    thats why.

    Stunning. I have mailed the link to some of my friends and my wife with the
    following statement:

    And people still want to fly away somewhere to sit by the pool / beach for
    two weeks ? What a crazy world we live in.

    Spider? Hang on... Oh yes, a real little cutie :-) Is that really Ben
    Nevis in the background of 'Distant View'? Somehow I didn't expect it
    to look like that. Goodness knows why though... I've got to get up
    that way sometime and see for myself; photographs never really do
    justice to the view, so judging by the photos the reality must be truly
    stunning.

    No it isn't. Stuart has the captions "A distant view of Ben Nevis" and
    "Four wheel drive and no rucksac" mixed up. I think that Ladhar
    Bheinn is the mountain in the distance on the extreme left of that one
    because that is surely a view of the back of the Five Sisters with
    Gleann Lichd on the right.

    Absolutely right, the captions don't fit the pictures. I changed some of the
    images after I had finished the page and forgot to amend the captions, Some
    of the captions are for images that I deleted. ....... Its a mess, and if I
    head up North tonight for a wild and windy day somewhere tomorrow (forecast
    for clear skies but 60+ knots on the tops) then I may not get to amend the
    page till Fri night!

    Great Picture, like the clear air above the hazy layer of probably much
    colder denser air. Doesn't often persist into the afternoon when I guess
    your picture was taken. Do you have an exact date for it, I would like to
    look at the weather models for that day, I try to understand these things!

    As it happens, thanks to the wonders of digital cameras we have the
    following:

    DateTime 2004:02:18 11:59:39
    Make Canon
    Model Canon PowerShot A40
    ....
    ExposureBiasValue -1.00 EV
    ExposureMode manual
    ExposureTime 1/160 s
    FNumber F14.0

    The next day I was on Sgurr a Mhaoraich at about 15.00

    That seems to make more sense. I take it then that the "Four wheel
    drive and no rucksac" caption refers to that rather handsome four-footed
    companion?

    Ooh, pointy! All I have to do is to persuade the rest of the family
    that a trip to Scotland would be a really good idea, and we're off!

    Beautiful... thanks for sharing them - most of the photos up on the Five
    Sisters ridge were similar to ones I took (undoubtedly nowhere near the
    quality of yours) last year, then subsequently lost the camera with the film
    still inside...

  14. I think that was the day I was over the way on the Forcan Ridge.
    Fantastic views out over the small isles to the outer Hebrides and of
    course lots of scrambling fun.

    Now will someone offer me a job in Northern Scotland so I can get there
    for days/weekends?

    Does your camera give the correct time on the image, i.e. is the time on the
    image file the same as the time shown on your camera when the picture was
    taken?

    I have a similar model of camera to yours (Ixus4) and bizarrely, no matter
    what time I set the camera to display, the image always comes back with the
    time set correctly to GMT

    Curious, my camera is a simillar model to yours, "ixus4"

    Similar in that it is a Canon.

    My camera is now my parents' camera. But while I had it it did show
    the time the camera was set at in the EXIF data. I decided after a
    while to keep it set at GMT no matter what local time was, it was just
    too much hassle changing the time when on holiday in Australia [1].
    When i got back to Britain I further rationalised theh keep it on GMT
    option as it would be easier to cross reference EXIF data with GPS
    timestamps if they were always in GMT

    As for your camera reverting to GMT it must have set it to that when
    you first got it. You are remembering to press SET after you have
    changed the time aren't you? I think that if you press MENU it will go
    back to what it was before.

    [1] I arrived in Melbourne VIC just before they went to daylight
    saving and went on a trip to Brisbane QLD where they don't have it so
    I went from GMT plus 10 to GMT plus 11 back to GMT plus 10 then back
    to GMT plus 11 all in the space of two weeks. It's a good job I didn't
    go to Adelaide SA.
