    Buachaille Etive Mor - a very nice sunrise

    This winter I've spent a lot of time reprocessing old shots, finding new crops and especially with Covid19 it seems wise to continue on this vein as opposed to head out and be selfish. Some nice reflections on the Coupall River just up stream from the famous falls _DSC6488 by Stephen Taylor...

    The Buachaille

    The Buachaille by David Young, on Flickr Not really a landscape photographer - I can count the amount of times I've used a tripod for still photography on my fingers - would be rude to not take a pic here at least once in my life though.

    Critique So I am a little bit obsessed with Buachaille Etive Mor

    Been busy reprocessing some older shots. All of these were composed around a 2:1 crop but as tastes evolve so do ones choices of aspect ratio and the near letter box look doesn't appeal quite so much as it once did. May 2017 Here's a 5x4 - I'd have liked 4x3 but when trying to crop I couldn't...

    Critique Changing Conditions - Glencoe

    One from a trip earlier this year to Glencoe. I wanted to capture something different, and this was a shot I haven't seen from there before. I liked the light coming through but also the rain/hail that had battered me about a minute prior to this shot. Changing Conditions - Glencoe by Thomas...

    Two from last Tuesday in Glencoe.

    What a summer this has been. It's either been totally grey, or totally blue skies with not much inbetween. Here are two from Tuesday in Glencoe. There was too much cloud, and haze around to really get the light onto the mountain (Meall a'bhuiridh). The reflections though were very nice...

    Some local images (Glencoe) from the last couple of weeks

    Picked a very still day for these and even then I needed a few exposures to get a complete static set of grasses (on the embankment). I used a long exposure to smooth out any slight ripples in the river so only the calmest of moments gave me the chance to get everything (and I mean everything )...

    Critique Some recents from Glencoe

    I spent a most wonderful Sunday evening (between rain showers and gusts of wind at the Torren Lochan). There were some moments where the water was not still due to rain and horrible wind but the rain had the most welcome effect of clearing the air so the clarity was just wonderful after the...

    Sunrise on Lochan na Stainge

    _DSC4786 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr I grabbed this on a morning workshop last week. The best reflections and light were down on Rannoch Moor. I couldn't resist guiding the client to this spot at the edge of Lochan na Stainge and once they were set up taking a few of my own with the light...

    Three from this week in Glencoe

    Finally summer is here. It's no secret it's my favourite time of year so it was high time I headed out to enjoy the fine weather. It's still a little brown on the Moors so I chose compositions around this. First up is a lovely little fall on the River Coe - very little light about but the sky...

    Glencoe Sunrise - One from a recent workshop.

    I grabbed these on a recent workshop last week. Once I got my client comfortable and ready for what was one of the best mornings I ever saw I couldn't resist a few shots and the client wanted a few demonstration shots on how I work. Whilst I don't shoot time lapses (I really should) I do like...

    Critique The Torren Lochan

    It's no secret I despise this time of year and find precious little to motivate me through the winter months. I decided to reprocess some shots from the Torren Lochan from July 2017. My tastes have changed a little since then so I thought I'd give the RAW files a fresh look. This was probably...

    Wintery scenes in Glencoe

    Technically this is Autumn but it was cold enough to be winter...a square crop of one from earlier this year _DSC3877 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr I've shown this scene as a 2:1 countless times, however I came across an old card and found one I took at a slightly longer FL which I probably did...

    Not a bad view at breakfast

    Autumn so far in Glencoe

    Just a quick selection from last monday - for those who know me off the forum I'm still working on the France/Spain pictures from last month but here's last Mondays efforts. Imagination nill but with the rainfall at least the waterfall has some movement in it. _DSC3877 (1) by Stephen Taylor...

    Summer in Glencoe - an assortment of images

    Been putting off working on this shot for a while - it's not my best of the summer from there. The light never really came through and this glimmer the only light of the day - shame really as the sky was epic and had it come through it would have been one of the all time great mornings...

    Critique Glencoe in this wonderful weather

    The weather has been incredible over the last couple of weeks. Here are a few shots taken during what has been the best spell of weather since May which was also pretty awesome. This summer has to the best one I can recall and such a treat after such a long, horrible and drawn out winter...

    Sunset at Buchaille Etive Mor

    Last Monday night I had a delightful time shooting reflections of this wonderful mountain at sunset. The shot is taken from a waterpool near the start of the Devils Staircase. Other than the fact it was a little hazy this was one of the best evenings out I've had in a long long time. When I...

    Buachaille Etive Mor

    Here's a few pictures from Glencoe last Monday. The weather was terrific, lovely and still and the light came through. I am glad to say finally the grasses are turning a little greener as summer finally turns up again. The sky turned vividly pink just before sunrise. _DSC3207 by Stephen...

    Sunrise in Glencoe

    Found an old memory card last week and found some images from the late Autumn of 2015 going into the start of winter - some of them I processed and some I overlooked. Tastes change and evolve in time and I decided to download them off the card again and work them without looking at the...

    The Buachaille - Autumn and Summer.

    I make no secret of not caring for winter and spring and instead prefer summer and autumn to take pictures. The exception is when the snow comes in winter and covers the landscape, I do like that, but that's alas few and far between in the months of November to April. I've been reworking images...

    Critique Snow in Glencoe

    Was up there a couple of weeks back. I couldn't make it up the Saturday when the sunrise was really colourful but hoped for the same on the Sunday. It wasn't to be. At least it gave me a chance to try my new 20mm F1.8 out. Prefer it already to the 16-35 which I may well end up selling. I...
