Lochside Monarchs


ian cameron

The steep hills bordering Loch A Chroisg plunge straight into the depths of this narrow loch which is so well protected from the prevailing winds that it is often blessed with mirror smooth reflections. On a summers day I positioned myself opposite these delightful spindly Scots pine trees ensuring that none of them overlap and very carefully excluded any trace of sky creeping in above the hillside. I very much like the overlapping tones of green and think it makes a very pleasing contrast to Spartan pines taken in the depths of winter.NEW!! Photographic Holidays at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

Is this the same scene as one of your older shots? The one I'm thinking about is a completely diferent colour, more muted grey/blue tones and I think your best image; very elegant. This is also very good.

Hi Mike yes it is. That one was called Spartan pines and was taken in deep winter with a viscious hoar frost on the ground. It still remains one of my favourite shots and is extremely popular. This of course was taken in Summer not a time of year i particularly enjoy as I find the overwhelming mass of green generally uninteresting. For me this gets away with it as the subjects are quite stark and strong with tinges of red on the bark and thankfully the greens are very different shades throughout.
