Sunday walk around Glencoe, Scotland

Frogwell · February 21, 2006

Morning people. Here are a few pictures I grabbed on my Sunday afternoon walk around Glencoe.

I really wanted to get a bit further back for this shot, unfortunately, another few inches back and I'd have been tumbling down the hill.

The next two shots were actually rather annoying. As I was walking along the light would suddenly become just perfect but I would be in a not so perfect position to get a good composition. Or as in the case of the following picture, I found myself in a place where I wanted to get a picture but the light was not quite right, so with a little childish petulance I grabbed the shot without lining up enough.

This shot was especially irksome as the sun was going down fast, casting a nice red glow over the snow caps, but I was about two miles from where I wanted to be, so I was speed walking/jogging over rough and boggy terrain to get there, but about a minute before I did the sun finally went behind the mountains and all I could get was this shot.

The light was particularly poor for this shot, so I have had to lighten it in photoshop more than is strictly healthy, which accounts for it's bleached appearance.
