Gougane Barra is my back garden. I can walk there from my house in Ballingeary, and I've spent more mornings than I can count standing at the edge of that lake with a camera. Most of them end with nothing worth keeping. This one was different.
The water had gone completely flat. Not a breath of wind. The reflection was so clean it was genuinely difficult to tell where the hillside ended and the lake began. A thin band of mist sat just above the surface, maybe a metre high, catching the early sun as it crept over the right side of the valley. Warm light picking out rock and heather on the slopes. The left bank, with its stand of conifers, still held in cool shadow. Everything balanced.
The problem, as always on a still summer morning here, was the midges. Thousands of them. They descend in clouds the moment you stop moving, and standing quietly behind a tripod is exactly the kind of behaviour they reward with enthusiasm. I must have looked ridiculous, waving one hand around my face while trying to hold steady for long exposures.
Twenty minutes. That's roughly how long the conditions held before the first breath of wind broke the surface. I walked home for breakfast covered in midge bites, and it felt entirely worth it!
