regis 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Buachaille Etive Mor is probably one of the most recognisable "Munro" (peak above 3000ft = 915m) in Scotland. It is a magnificent mountain of four distinct peaks standing at the head of Glen Etive and overlooking the north-west corner of Rannoch Moor. The best known view of the mountain is from the north and east, from where the great rocky cone of Stob Dearg is the outstanding feature of the mountain. Extending south-west from Stob Dearg, a 7-kilometre long ridge goes over two Tops, Stob na Doire and Stob Coire Altruim, and ends at Stob na Broige, another very steep and rocky peak overlooking lower Glen Etive. This rocky tower guards the entrance to Glen Coe, that's why some people call it "The Guardian". Collecting Munros is very popular among Scots and it is quite a big challenge, as the list of all Munros is about 284 long. After pretty warm Saturday the night was extremely cold and so was Sunday morning. It was really the thing I've been waiting for (it is when the visibility is at its top, plus you can find a decent frosty foreground to match the composition :)). I know that this composition is very popular and not at all unique, but the geography of this place and its amazing popularity makes it really hard to create something extraordinary. In my opinion, however it is all about light and weather that makes a particular shot unique, so the possibilities are almost endless. Please view the larger version. Hope you'll like it.

ameripol 0 Posted October 2, 2007 What hasn't been done? There are few things that haven't been shot before. What's important is bringing your own vision to the image. I think you did a magnificient job of it here. There is not a flaw or thing to change in my mind. I've never been there before just now. Thanks for the trip. I love how you managed the light and elements so well. super! Art Link to comment
