This scene is looking over Lochan na h-Achlaise towards the peaks of Stob a’Choire Odhair and Stob Ghabhar. It’s on the Black Mount on Rannoch Moor just south of Glencoe and it is only just within the Highland Boundary with Arygll & Bute just to the south and Perth & Kinross to the East. The mountains were covered with the last of the winters snow and the melt waters were beginning to flood these wee lochans. As I took this image, I’ll always remember feeling privileged by just being there to witness this tranquil beauty. I can still almost feel the crispness of the air even now. It is at times like these, I understand why photography is so much of a part of my life. This image was given the joyous honour of being nominated by Brendan Schoon in the Pay It Forward Group. This is what he had to say my image:- “It took a little time till I had found the work I really admire! The work that really makes me silent for a while, the work that I won’t forget so easily! / I like this work because of the B&W tone, the usage of the foreground. The bush is reflecting perfect in the water and creating so much depth in this shot, the white snowy mountains at the background which are giving me the feeling Wish I Was There!!! Truly an amazing work! Had to nominate this work.” Truly an amazing and humbling compliment. Thank you Brendan. Canon EOS 40D Used

The clouds part and sunbeams illuminate the scene. Collighillie is an abandoned village on the wild and desolate Applecross Peninsula, reached by a walk of about two miles, on a fairly decent path, from Ard Dubh. A little bit of sad history for you, sent to me by a Flickr contact. ” The villager’s old schoolmaster died and no one from the village was able to teach. The village is so isolated as well. So the government brought in a school teacher from the outside, but unbeknownst to anyone including himself he had TB. By the time they found out it was too late and the whole village succumbed to it.” Shot on a Canon EOS 20D, hand held, f11, single RAW file processed in Photoshop CS3. Metered off a part of the sky.

Ben Loyal lies in the very Far North of Scotland, in an extremely remote and beautiful location. This is a truly wild place, and the only sounds I heard while photographing this scene was some Wild Geese on Loch Meadie, and a lonesome Golden Plover. In mid-Summer, the sunset and sunrise are not very far apart this far North, and this was shot around 3.30am !! PS, we were parked up in a VW campervan, otherwise I definitely would have rolled over and gone back to sleep ! A scan from Fuji Velvia film, shot on a Ricoh KR10 super, f11, mounted on a tripod.

Driving home one evening from Glasgow, after a a holiday in Corsica, this scene begged to be photographed ! A gorgeous Summers evening, when all things seem to be at peace with the world ! / However, encounter Glen Coe on a day when the weather is as wild as can be, and you will experience the very sombre mood and brooding atmosphere that is ‘The Glen of Weeping’. The name of the lochan is a spelling nightmare !!

The Buachaille forms a perfect pyramid at the head of Glen Etive as you travel across Glen Coe. The Scottish Gaelic translates roughly to mean ” The great herdsman of Etive” or the “Shepherd of Etive.” / Immensely popular with climbers and photographers alike ! / Mother Nature very kindly placed a burn (stream or river) in JUST the right place for a wonderful photographic composition ! I have applied a little HDR. / Taken on my CANON EOS 20D, with polarising filter, f22 for DOF and to blur the moving water, mounted on a tripod, a single RAW file processed in Photomatix, and adjusted in Photoshop CS3.

“The splendour falls on castle walls / And snowy summits old in story: / The long light shakes across the lakes, / And the wild cataract leaps in glory: / Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, / Blow, bugle, answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O hark, O hear how thin and clear, / And thinner, clearer, farther going! / O sweet and far from cliff and scar / The horns of Elfland faintly blowing! / Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying: / Blow, bugle, answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O love, they die in yon rich sky, / They faint on hill or field or river: / Our echoes roll from soul to soul / And grow for ever and for ever. / Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, / And answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.” Lord Alfred Tennyson Canon 400D , Sigma 10-20mm + ND grad filters.F16 iso 100

We spent a weeks holiday in this area, and the weather was pretty poor most days, I had a hard time pulling anything good out of my Canon 40D !! / However, on the last morning, I woke early to a glimmer of light, and planned to shoot the early morning light falling on the Summer Isle. Of course, that didn’t work out, so feeling despondant, drove around the corner to turn around. / Glad I did, for less than five minutes, the light played ball ! / I knew I couldn’t shoot for a conventional shot, far too much contrast with those sunbeams, so I settled for a three – shot , hand-held, HDR image. There wasn’t time to set up the tripod, but I didn’t need it, since great depth of field was not required on this occasion. Luckily I had my IS ( image stabilisation ) lens already fitted ! The light rapidly disappeared under a big blanket of cloud, which remained with us in the North West for over a WEEK !! / It was however, a magical moment, filled with adrenaline ! Shot on my Canon EOS 40D, Canon 17-85mm f4.0-5.6 IS USM lens set at 79mm, 0EV, -2EV, +2EV, RAW, iso 100, cloudy wb, then processed in Photomatix, and further enhanced in Adobe Photoshop CS3, where I had to do some more selective Tone Mapping, in particular the moorland, where I wanted a little ‘pool’ of light. I also helped along the sunbeams with a subtle use of ‘dodging and burning’. / LAB colour was also employed, gently. The ‘warm up ’ photo filter was also used in Layers, and eradicated from areas not required by using Layer masks and painted out. / The result was what I had in my mind when I saw the scene, and could not be described as a true record of the scene before me. / This is the Digital Age, let us enjoy it, and use it to advantage !!

The Russel Burn tumbles down from the mountains of Applecross, seen as you take the spectacular drive over the Bealach na Ba ( the Pass of the Cattle ) single track road. It is an old drover’s route, and rises to 2,053 feet, from where, on a clear day, you can see outstanding views of the Western Isles in all their glory. Mostly though, it will be so cold and windy that you will will not want to stay too long !! It is a very wild and remote area, so incredibly beautiful. Taken on a Canon EOS 40D, mounted on tripod, / canon 17-85mm IS lens at 17mm. Polariser fitted, ( to slow the shutter for more blur) / f23, three shot hdr (-2EV , +2EV and 0EV …..from a minus 1 stop underexposure reading 0f f23, 1/15 sec. on Aperture priority ) iso 100, Auto wb, RAW files converted in Photomatix and Adobe CS3. / Finished with a little Orton.

A scene I have often passed by, but either the light was wrong, or I didn’t have the time. / On this occasion, things fell into place, except for the fact that I had left my tripod at home !! DOH !! (on a shopping trip for provisions to Fort William !) / It is a hand-held three shot hdr, because of the extreme lighting. / Loch Lochy is reputed to have a “monster” like Loch Ness ! Shot on my Canon EOS50D, iso 100, auto wb, three RAW’s at -2EV, +2EV,0EV, hand held braced against a bush for added stability, Canon 17-85mm IS lens set at 53mm, f11, processed in Photomatix, then Adobe CS3, with colour adjustments, and more selective levels / curves.

The Faerie pools are very photogenic, and I like them best on a ‘bad’ weather day, when you can attempt to capture the mood of the surrounding dark and brooding mountains. This view is looking towards a famous climb, called “Stovepipe Gully”. / The rocks are slippery, not an easy place to set up a tripod, and I have been observed by more sane folk than myself, crawling on hands and knees for the best vantage point ! / There is a trail/walk alongside the burn and various pools that goes quite some way into the hills, amidst very grandiose scenery….....but prepare for wet feet, the ground is amazingly boggy here …...... and those rocks you have to clamber over to get your shot ? EXTRA slippery !! This is a three RAW HDR, shot on my Canon EOS 40D, mounted on the tripod, polariser fitted, to lose two stops of light for the blur effect, f27, underexposed by half a stop, then a +2EV and -2EV from that reading, iso 100, auto wb, processed in Photomatix, then in Adobe CS3 with various tweaks to colours etc., and where the water was burned out by the HDR process, layered in parts of the original 0EV file.

The beautifull Buachaille Etive Mor in the Glencoe mountain range , Scotland. Photographed with some fine friends and fellow photographers on an ePHOTOzine members meet last saturday (7th Nov) . We got up at 4am to drive the 2 hours from Pitlochry to Glencoe for sunrise. When we arrived it was cold, grey and raining and you coulden’t even see the mountain the fog was so bad. We persisted though and were rewarded with some nice early morning light :) It’s taken numerous trips over 5 years to get a decent pic of this spot, one of my favourite in Scotland. Hope you enjoy it :) canon 400D , sigma 10-20mm Lee filters. iso 100 F16 Raw

Taken on the same morning as the previous upload of Buachaille Etive Mor , this time looking in the opposite direction . While waiting for the mist to lift from the Buachaille and for a bit of light to break through , I noticed there was some nice effects on the mountains behind. The pictire lacks a bit of the colour and light we got later on from the Buachaille , but I think it captures that moody, brooding feel that Scotland often has . Thankyou so much for all your great comments yesturday and sorry I can’t answer everyone induvidually! Canon 400D , sigma 10-20mm , Lee filters F16 iso 100 . Raw

A landscape version of this beautifull spot near Glencoe, Scotland. I found it much harder to get a good landscape composition , I think this is probably the best one I managed . / I Still prefer the portrait version overall but I do also like the three waterfalls in this one and the way the water has been slightly warped by the edge of the wide angle lens. Apparently a friend of mine wen’t here just 2 days later and there wasen’t any waterfall at all, so I think we bagged it just in time! :-)

Glen coe, Highlands, Scotland. / / Step in the Same Stream Twice Silence / finished saying what had to be said / Compliance / Read into the saying what had to be read Downward / is it now gone? Perhaps cheap at the price / Coward / No more to say, no more device. Saddened / beyond dreams, beyond avarice / Deadened / taken what seemed in this a true risk Dreamed / all was for nothing and nothing was gained / Seemed / an answer once was for all this but pain Loved / Once was or twice was it all is the same / Rubbed / Out the true feeling tears in the rain Dissolve / sinking and feeling in one’s own advice / Resolve / You cannot step in the same stream twice.

This is the Isle of Skye at it’s best, when there is a lot of colour in the landcsape, with the low sun we get this far North at this time of year, accentuating every detail. / This is the crofting community of Tarskavaig, with the glorious backdrop of the Cuillin Hills. / “Crofting” is small time farming, or “smallholding” where a few crops might be grown, and a small number of cattle or sheep kept. A single RAW file, shot on my Canon EOS 50D , polariser filter, f25, 1/2 sec, underexposed by 2/3 stop, iso 100, auto wb, processed in Adobe CR, then in CS3. MORE OF MY ISLE OF SKYE WORK…...

Another first for me, been wanting to get a decent pic of this awsome valley with a wide angle lens for a long time. The brooding valley of Glencoe and it’s three sisters, Highlands of Scotland. Famous for the Masacre of the McDonalds in 1692: “The Massacre of Glencoe occurred in Glen Coe, Scotland, in the early morning of 13 February 1692, during the era of the “Glorious Revolution” and Jacobitism. In Gaelic, the event is named ‘Mort Ghlinne Comhann’ (murder of Glen Coe). The massacre began simultaneously in three settlements along the glen—Invercoe, Inverrigan, and Achnacon—although the killing took place all over the glen as fleeing MacDonalds were pursued. Thirty-eight MacDonalds from the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by the guests who had accepted their hospitality, on the grounds that the MacDonalds had not been prompt in pledging allegiance to the new monarchs, Mary II and William II. Another forty women and children died of exposure after their homes were burned.” canon 400D , sigma 10-20 with Lee filters. F16 @ iso100
