Lochan na h-Achlaise, Glencoe Seems like ages since I posted an image, what with work, Norovirus and my trip up to Glencoe. I’ve tried to catch up with some postings over the last few weeks but inevitably I won’t get through them all so apologies for that. I haven’t finished with Iceland yet (or numerous other past shoots) so am likely to return to those but I will post some from my recent trip to Glencoe. Having been there in March the last couple of years I’d decided to try January in the hope of getting more ice/snow. Well it worked for the first 36hrs, after which it rained solid for a whole day and washed it all away. This shot was taken after about 9.5hrs of driving with the odd break. I got to Lochan na h-Achlaise on the A82 barely an hour before sunset and decided if I was going to get anything on my ‘first day’ this would be the most likely location. After a bit of my normal messing around I came across this scene. Now I will admit this is a composite image/focal length blend. The sky and reflection in the ice puddle comes from one image and the rest from one taken seconds later when I widened the focal length to capture more of the ‘ring’ around the ice. In those 30? Seconds the light/reflection was gone. Now I could have just posted the first image I know and maybe I should have. However, I just thought having the wider focal length on the ice worked better. I know this won’t be popular with the purists but as I’ve declared it I don’t feel guilty! Glencoe is wonderful part of the UK/Scotland and something about it keeps drawing me back. Maybe it;’s because it seems quite small overall but as a Tog you can keep finding new things to shoot or, even it it’s the same shot, it can vary so much over the seasons/years. I never get tired of it. © All rights reserved to Steve Pellatt. Please do not use this image on websites, blogs or any other media without my explicit written permission.

Turquoise Heart of the Peaks
Every element seems to lean into that hush—no motion, no noise, just presence. It’s not dramatic, but it lingers. A quiet study in contrast, mood, and restraint. This scene doesn’t shout—it waits for you to listen.
