A weekly Blog, my thoughts from time to time...

In: Some advice.
Last Thursday I took a run up to my favourite stomping ground Glencoe, it takes 90 minutes to get there, but always worth the journey. I wandered around my normal spots, not finding anything new, everywhere I went I found the light in the wrong place, ended up down the Glen at Loch Achtriochtan where light was just beginning to shine up towards the Aonach Eagach Ridge and down onto the water.
I had seen many images of the falls here but never plucked up the courage to get down to them before . So over the wall I went and slithered down to the largest rock farthest out into the River Coe.
As I looked over the top of the boulder I instantly wished I had my 16-35mm lens with me & glad I didn't bring the tripod, even the small Gitzo. I didn't feel too comfortable on the rock so took a couple of 5 frame panos, then a couple of 5 frame stacks altering the exposure and aperture to be sure I had something decent. I returned to terra firma quicker than I got down there.
This is one of the panoramas I shot.
