I spent an enjoyable weekend as the guest of the SSTA at their Annual Congress in the Coylumbridge Hotel, Aviemore... only problem was the weather. After weeks of glorious sunshine we had a weekend of cloud, rain and, as you can see, spring snow on the Cairngorm.

This was my first proper chance to 'play' with my new lens and the lower photo taken last year at the same spot at Loch Morlich shows the distance and the area covered by the top shot.

I am looking forward to more practice and the tripod & remote release are now essential kit!!!
