Glencoe, Scotland

Well Adrian , what can i say.
For a first time Scotland shooter (we know by now about our light) you`ve done realy well.
I like them all for different reasons,and to be honest with you,i`ve seen realy bad photos of Scotland from people who live in Scotland and critisise others.

I`m realy sorry about your ordeal,if you were up at glencoe on Saturday,we probably met someware.

Photos coming soon.

Adrian it was actually this one that I meant - the change is only subtle, anyhow see what you think.

Some nice shots there Adrian

You done well with what looked a right Shabby day

Cheers dimitri, appreciate the kind words. you'll have to show me a picture of you sometime so i know who to look out for next time

I agree the changes are subtle, but certainly for the better i think. Ill have a go on the original file soon and see what i can do.

Cheers David

very nice indeed adrian first one of the river etive looking over towards buachaille is one to be proud of
the next blackrock cottage framed between Sron na Creise and stob dearg is a classic shot seen many times over,your take on it is up there with the best of them

do you still feel you had a wasted weekend ? i dont think so

I dont feel it was wasted no, but i just feel it was a severely cut down experiance to the one it could have been, and will be next time i go. As for the first shot, i do like it also. The second im less happy with simply for the fact its been done to death by others. Next time ill find a new take on it though... you have my word.

Oh, and your knowledge of the place names of the area is really quite impressive. Cheers john.

comes from years of wandering all over this area Adrian I climbed buachaille etive mor (Stob dearg) in my younger years when i would be ouit on the hills almost every weekend sadly ive been neglegting my passion for hillwalking in recent years but ive been doin a bit more recently and intending to be out every second week in the next few months I was up on Ben Lomond at the weekend snow down at 2000 feet made for a bit of a slog sadly the amazing day that was forecast for saturday wasnt to be and i came home with nothing but a bunch of grey snapshots "but hey thats life here i guess photography comes second on my list when im out walking if i get a few shots then im happy

I hope i can amass experiance like this with time. Definatly going to wander up Ben Lomond again soon. It seems theres quite a few of us POTN ers in this area who like the same places. Maybe we could arange a group trip sometime? Just an idea.

Its a small world Adrian smaller than you know my friend Cameron on here for instance is from the same town as myself ,Dimitri was quite a close friend of mine for a while we used to go out shooting pictures together quite a lot together he did goatfell on arran with me twice sadly on both occassions the weather didnt play fair for dimitri
I climbed it last easter in minus 10 degrees and came home with the best shots ive ever taken on the island ,any time you fancy a walk in the hills Adrian your more than welcome my friend ,as you will no doubt know even on saturday with our poor weather i encountered no less than 150 people on the route up ben lomond even as i came down ptarmigan ridge it was mobbed

Oh wow, that certainly is a small world. Here was me thinking i had come up with a cracking idea and you guys have been at it for ages. I really would love to come on some walks with you guys though, paryicularly to benefit from your expertise and experiance. Im sure i could learn a great deal. Plus it would be nice to get out into the country more than i do at the moment.
Thankyou for the invitation John, thats very kind of you. I look forwards to taking you up on it sometime.
