I've decided I'm going to head up to Glencoe tomorrow since I'm off and the weather over the weekend and Monday isn't looking to promising.

Thinking of driving around Loch Leven then back down again and stopping at various locations along the way up.

Probably leaving the house at 9am so will get there for lunch, spend the day shooting and back down the road after sunset...

Just wondering if anyone knows of any locations I just simply have to capture.

Going to retake my shot of Glencoe from the road to Loch Etive but the rest of the trip is going to be just driving and scouting for nice locations so any info would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance! :thumbs:
 
Thanks for the suggestion Mike, if I don't get too caught up at Loch Leven, I will be sure to give that road a go coming home.
 
I'd additionally suggest the run down Glen Etive from the A82. So many on here do it for a reason. Loch leven is nice and road from a fast driving angle majors on fun. Photography wise take pictures from the Northern side. The Pap of Glen Coe is also worth taking pictures as is Castle Stalker but it's worth heading to the end of the Port Appin road and getting images of the coast
 
Well, I perhaps should have checked the weather forecast before setting off, but BBC never recognised Glencoe so just ran with it... Wasn't the best day really; low cloud, showers and just bland skies.

I did however, love the drive around the loch and along the coastal road. Definitely going back with my other car next time - my daily driver maybe efficient but isn't quite fun.

Here are three of my shots from the day - can't wait to get back up there on a good day.

I love it up there and round the hills, i can be wondering about there all day its great.

Cracking photos Marty.
 
I agree with Gramps...may not have been the best of days ...but those colours are great.
 
I was going to go for a wonder around the hills Derek, but the weather kinda put me off. Even though I had all my waterproofs with me it just isn't the same.

Gramps/Steve, yes, I'm happy with the colours in the waterfall shot and I also like the menacing sky on the pano. The colours on the rocks in that little stream were just golden!
 
I know what you mean, its a shame the weather was a bit of a let down of late. Never mind, its staying a lot brighter now at night so the good weather is on its way.
