Photo of the Day – 10 October 2016: Buachaille Etive Mor

Posted on 10th October 2016 by Admin under Location, Photograph, Technique

Buachaille Etive Mor is the iconic mountain of the Glen Coe region and is one of the best known in Scotland.  No doubt part of its popularity is due to the grand view afforded of it from the main road which runs through the Glen Coe valley.  A tributary of the river which flows through the valley is on the other side of the road and in this shot forms an essential part of the view thanks to an area of still water.

Throughout the day I was experimenting shooting the mountains with an infrared camera.  The results were mixed as the foliage, (which turns white when photographed in infrared)  often looked like snow, but in the wrong place being lower down rather than around the peak.  In this instance, the same view turned out quite well.

This post is part of my occasional “Photo of the Day” series when I publish any shots which I think might be of interest and tell the story behind them.  They might not necessarily be portfolio standard images, nor the final version, but still be of sufficient interest for inclusion in my blog.  If I do not show a shot on any given day, it does not mean that I did not take any photographs, just that I did not get anything worthwhile.  For me, that is part of the fun of photography, not knowing what you will find on a shoot when nothing is planned.
