Clearing Storm Glencoe

I was lucky to be able to explore the edge boundaries of light as

this showery squall cleared from the "Three Sisters" in Glencoe.

Spot metered off the patch of greenery and photographed it before the

ray of light enveloped me causing uncontrollable lens flare. Hope

you like it.

A beautifully dramatic representation of a beautifully dramatic scene. Only slight niggle is the brightness in the sky.

Thanks Ian trust me this was the best i could do with the exposure lattitude of film. I suppose I could have combined two seperate exposures but its just not my thing. I like everything on one tranny rather than two files. It is very true to what I remember and the light was bright enough to make you squint.

Thanks, Ian. I do take your point and agree with your reluctance to go down the two image PS-merge route. As I say, it's only a slight niggle and doesn't weaken the remarkably well-captured drama and magificence of this landscape. It's a beauty.

magnificant and dramatic scenery...I like it very much...great light and colours :)

Very Impactful Picture. Bravo (and lucky). mandi, Roberto

Sinfonia en verde, muy bonita.Un cordial saludo

I love this photograph. And sometimes it is hard to remember that after the storm there is always light. Very dramatic!

Nicely done. The sky doesn't detract from the image for me.

Congratulations on this excellent capture. I especially like the way the cloud 'splashes' between the two peaks, very nice accent.

 

I'd love to have this up on my wall.

 

 

Wonderful! I love the color and lighting, especially because it is real, not a creation of digital trickery. Keep up the good work.

Thank you one and all for your very kind words. I was very fortunate with the light falling as it did. luckily I have used this camera and Velvia so long now that I am usually able to deal with the situation quite rapidly. It was nice to get the image seen before it was sabotaged. Quite often some of my shots don't even get started before they are consigned to the middle order rankings. C'est la vie.

Capturing light is what it's all about, and you do it so well. This is a fine example. Your patience must be immense as is your passion for landscapes. Many thanks for dropping by. Much appreciated Ian.

 

Best regards Michael.

This makes me want to return to the glencoe valley, such a harsh beautiful place, and this is a perfect capture of it.

wonderful - as always

Wonderful capture of the landscape after the storm.

Wow ! Great lighting ! U were in the right place at the right time! I wish i could be as lucky as u ! :)

Great, this must surely be included in your upcoming photobook 'The Beauty Of Scotland'.

For a completely different look:

Glencoe in winter.

No sun though in my photo, we only had sleet, hail, rain & snow that day.

 

 

An awesome capture!! It is all about the light...

 

I realise this is a well-photographed scene, but you've caught some amazing light and it makes it really special in my opinion. Fantastic shot.

wow...amazing place, great shot. conrats.

Awesome picture!! The way you have captured the light is simply amazing! Great work.
