Overview:-
There are many many great locations in the Glencoe area... moorland, mountains, lochs, glens, coastline, castles, beaches, etc, many of which we will visit during our workshop. As the weather can be a little unpredictable in Scotland, I have no fixed order of places to visit but prefer to work the weather to our advantage and will ensure we capture all the highlights of the area.
You will also have plenty of opportunity to learn various digital darkroom techniques on the provided computers using Adobe’s Lightroom and Photoshop.
If the group has any specific locations of interest or would prefer to spend more time shooting and less time processing or vice versa, etc then I am also happy to accommodate and use my time as you prefer.
The usual meeting point is Glencoe but if someone needs transport then I can provide a lift from the central belt. (Stirling Area)

About Glencoe:-
Glencoe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland which is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland. The variety of mountains, lochs and beautiful landscapes are simply perfect for a landscape photography holiday.

It is steep-sided and climbs steadily south east from the village of Glencoe on the sea-loch, Loch Leven. It eventually emerges from its enveloping mountains onto the wet plateau of Rannoch Moor ten miles away and at an altitude of over 1000 feet.

The glen is U-shaped, formed by an ice age glacier with the floor of the glen being less 0.4 miles wide, narrowing sharply at the Pass of Glen Coe about half way along.

The entrance to Glencoe from the East is marked by Buachaille Etive Mor, "the great herdsman of Etive" at the junction with Glen Etive which runs away to the south. The south side of the glen is marked by a succession of distinct peaks: Buachaille Etive Mòr is followed to the west by Buachaille Etive Beag, then by the Three Sisters, shoulders of the Bidean nam Bian massif which itself marks the western end of the glen. By contrast the north side of the glen is a stark wall of mountain, the Aonach Eagach ridge. The Ridge is crossed at the eastern end by the Devil's Staircase, an old military road opposite Buachaille Etive Mòr.

The western end terminates with the conical Pap of Glencoe (Sgùrr na Cìche), above Glencoe village, at the point where the glen opens out to Loch Leven.

This area is without doubt one of the best for photography or landscape holidays anywhere in the UK.
