From the wilderness of Rannoch Moor, with its vast landmass and the endless
resources of water, to the Pass of Glencoe with its haunted history and the beauty of
Glen Etive with its high peaks towering the skies. That is how our journey begins.
This is not just a landscape, this is a place that even if you want you can’t avoid but
photograph it.
Glencoe and the nearby Rannoch Moor contain some of the UK`s best wild mountain
and moorland scenery. If you are lucky to see it with some cover of snow and ice, bathed
in the gorgeous low sun light, these areas become simply magical.
There is simply so much to photograph in this area, that the experience is truly
breathtaking.
The scenery keeps changing the whole time, as the mood and atmosphere of the ever
changing light, can play games with the landscape changing it so fast that one can only
be amazed. When Buachaille Etive Mor is covered with snow and the early morning
sunlight touches its peak, then the experience can become very striking and spectacular.
Add to this another early morning with a sunrise over Lochan na h-Achlaise with its still
water and the black mount as a backdrop and you are in for a once in a life time
experience. And let’s not forget the 3 sisters with the pass of Glencoe with its panoramic
views or the loch Achtriochtan with its most exquisite location for landscape photography.
And we top it up with the view of the Pap from Glencoe.
This is an area that used to support nothing but ice, snow and glaciers not that long ago.
They all have left their mark and that is quite obvious even to this day.
During our workshop, we will try to get as much of this beauty as we can.
In May, the days are fairly long and the weather usually mild, giving us the opportunity
of extensive shooting. We will be based at the Lyn Leven guest house.
