Trip Tripping Away

Off on another short trip to the Highlands, taking every opportunity offered to capture an image. For me, I know I'm in the Highlands when I first see the lovely red granite rocks which coincides with the brooding Glencoe. This first image of the trip was a quick handheld shot taken in the rain, thankfully avoiding any rain spots on the lens. 

I was trying to avoid the honeypot locations, looking for something fresh. Personally the rain does not bother me, it only adds to the atmosphere. 

 Talking about red rocks... Glen Nevis.

It can be tempting to over saturate the rocks but I try to keep them the way they looked to  me. 

One advantage of the rain apart from making things nice and moody is the photographers favourite waterfalls. Once again in Glen Nevis, rather than the usual lower falls, I found this small waterfall on one of the many walks in the Glen.

Following on from Glencoe and Glen Nevis, we have Glenfinnan. Once again trying a new angle, so no Harry Potter viaduct. Perhaps not the image I envisioned, but I did like the light on the hills, so worth a try. 

Speaking of worth a try, I can highly recommend the accommodation we stayed in for this trip. Not forgetting the excellent host. If you want to base yourself in an area close to Glenfinnan with Tioram Castle, Mallaig and the surrounding area within easy reach Ardarroch Cottage is the place to stay. Lastly, I refuse to admit taking this, the most lazy of shots of Glenfinnan. Talk about lazy!
