Trip to Glen Coe, Scottish Highlands
Although this was written some time ago I had failed to publish it, and just noticed it was in drafts!!
Continuing the theme of Highland photography can be frustrating, a couple of weeks ago we took a trip to the Glen Coe area. The idea was to go into the mountains north east of Kinlochleven above Loch Eilde Mor. We wanted some mountain photos off the beaten track. This area certainly fitted the bill.
The forecast was not particularly bad so we were expecting
to get some decent photography weather, how wrong we were! When we set off, the
mountains were shrouded in mist.We had decided to hike up into the mountains and camp
overnight. This would give us the chance of
some sunset or sunrise images.
The weather got progressively worse, with a damp mist enveloping the glens.

We
decided that the best approach was to camp beside Loch Eilde Mor and see what
the weather was like in the morning. All thoughts of photography the first day
went out the window.

The following morning was a little better and we decided to hike up to a point about 2,400ft above the loch. As we arrived, grey cloud was the main problem for photography.
However, we did get a couple of shots which told us that the area was worth another visit when conditions were better.
