Falls of Falloch

The Falls of Falloch can be found about half way between the north end of Loch Lomond and Crianlarich. The river drops over several falls in a few hundred yards down to the level of the loch, the largest of these at over 30 feet is thankfully the most accessible.

Good set of pics. How did you do the B/W conversion on #2?

Nothing fancy, it was all done in RawShooter, tweaked the contrast etc then desaturated it. I may have a go at redoing it properly in CS2 from a colour original to see if I can get a better range of contrasts.

No.3 is my favourite as well, although maybe a little too small? I find myself squinting to see the details. (19inch monitor 1280x1024)

It's quite small but I find 600px high is what folk prefer to see on a forum, it's a good compromise between file size and image size.

What sort of size you looking for?

Unfortunately the range of shots is very limited, as you can see on #4 the pool is surrounded by steep slopes on 3 sides with only the river itself at the level of the pool. Without climbing gear or a set of waders these are the only angles you can get.

The far side isn't accessible, at least not without a serious hike.

You can get an idea of the size of the falls from this link
