Was that not an engineer?

Flippin 'eck! No, I'm scared of heights.
Good question though Satancom. I'm not sure about the legality but it certainly would be VERY dangerous.
Yes Madoobri, it was an engineer - his truck is out of shot. I got to the top with my clients to find a Mercedes van parked up there! Mind you the driver did say it had been a struggle!
Here is a shot of the view I took sometime ago.

I have a hard hat and hi vis in my car all the time, doesn't make me an engineer... but convinces some people
Surely you would have gone up the central ladder then?
Nice pic Keith ... there`s something about Suilven that I just love, not sure whether it`s the shape of it or the position it`s in ... both probably!

Suilven is one of my favourite mountains. You are correct it is the shape and the fact that it stands 'alone' that gives it its drama.
If you look the north you can see Quinag. This is one of my photos.
Camera - canon 10D
Focal length - 77mm (35mm = 123mm)
Exposure - 1/30th second
f22, ISO 100

That's agod question Alex, but as I very often say - 'there are no rules in photography, only diferent ways of doing things.
The I cropped this slightly from the original shot. I think that the shot works because the eye is drawn to the small croft in the foreground, which hapens to sit on one of the 'thirds'.
Keith Hart
Sorry Alex, I miss-read your post, you are refering to the first picture with the mast. Prhaps Blippie has answered fo you.

Ah! Okay Alex, now I see which one.
Right, this shot was taken for a very specific purpose - to print out and to laminate and carry in my truck to show people which mountains are which when we are up at the viewpoint. Also if the view is obscured I can show my guests what it should have looke like!
Here is a cropped 'panoramic' version just to compare the two.

Brilliant Keith ........and more impact too. This digital thing is Voodo to me. I have a little compact one.......... Cybershot but believe it or not I`m still taking slides with Kodachrome 64 and my old Pentax MX and ME supers.
When I learned Photography you had a book and you kept the number of the shot and shutter speed with aperture. Maybe a note of bracketed exposure etc. Maybe you did this too?
I bought Amateur Photographer for the first time in say 12yrs.......WOW.
What are they talking about? Some things don`t change mind you.......Hasselblad.........nice digital camera .........at £19000

Thank you Alex.
Yes, when I did my photographic training we started using large format plate cameras before we went onto medium format then finaly 35mm. We had to write down the details of each shot...now the camera does it for me.
Amateur Photographer Magazine have been chasing me to advertise with them for the past couple of years. I advertise in Practical Photography and Outdoor Photography - you should try those!
You would certainly have to be VERY rich or a serious pro to use a Hasselblad with digital back, or rather eccentric.
Anyway the photos I took on this thread were done with my wife's Canon PowerShot A540 point 'n' shoot. Another of my favourite sayings is 'its the photographer who takes the photo, not the camera'.
You will see that the 1st photo falls into the 'rule of thirds'.
