I’m slowly working my way through my photos from a wonderful photography workshop with one of my favorite photographers, Colin Homes, in the Scottish Highlands. (A few details about the trip, and a few photos, are here, in a previous blog post.)
This Glencoe scene — of Buachaille Etive Mor in the distance, and small falls along River Coupall — has been photographed many, many times before. Including by me when Elizabeth and I visited Scotland (my first time) in 2013. Nonetheless, what a treat!
This time, I was very glad I had brought waterproof and insulated boots, as I was standing in cold waters amongst small chunks of ice to take the image. And it was one of several long exposure images — 180 seconds, in this case, taken with my Lee “Big Stopper” neutral density filter — so I was not in and out of the water quickly.
I processed this image in Lightroom, Photoshop (mostly to remove some dust spots), and Nik’s Silver Efex Pro to convert it to monochrome. But, it didn’t seem to need much adjustment.
Even though this is by no means a unique scene, I was very happy to have another opportunity to capture it, on a clear and cold — and beautiful! — morning.
Thanks for taking a look.
