The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd is a freely roaming herd in the Cairngorms mountains setting - a unique landscape and a exceptional experience to get that close to the animals. This image was taken at the end of the visit, where just a few people remained on the mountains and some of the reindeer roamed the hills in some distance. HDR reduced the contrast when the sun showed up for a short time after periods of drizzling rain.
