Back in February, I spent a week based in Fort William, for a little winter landscaping, with my friend Vic. The weather was mixed, as you would expect for Scotland in February, but we did manage a couple of good days. I was keen to get some good images of Buachaille Etive Mor, so that was the focus of two mornings. The first morning started frustratingly cloudy, but eventually (and quite suddenly) it cleared into perfect conditions. We headed to the 'tripod holes' spot at the top of Glen Etive, to get the same shot that thousands of other 'togs have shot before us. Then we followed the river Etive upstream, to look for some different compositions.
The second morning was cold and clear. We had hoped to gain some hight, to give a different viewpoint on the big shepherd. But a delayed start and slow traffic through Glen Coe, meant we were never going to get in position before the sun hit the mountain. So, back to Glen Etive we went. This time the still parts of the river Etive were frozen over, giving a different element to foreground compositions.
