The recent wintry weather inspired me to get up at some ungodly hour in the morning and head out to take some pictures. This was a last minute decision meaning I had no idea of where or what I was going to photographer when I left the house. 2 hours and 90 miles later I found myself at the entrance to the spectacular valley of Glencoe. I never tier of the views here and you are always guaranteed a picture no matter what the conditions are like. On this occasion the mountains were covered in a fresh blanket of pristine snow and the sunrise produced some lovely warm tones making for some lovely images. As always the early morning glow of the sun was over all to quickly however the mid morning light still provided some lovely images.

I feel the impressive vista of Glencoe is best suited to a panoramic format and all of my images were taken with this in mind. My preferred method for panoramic images is to capture 3 or 4 overlapping landscape images which I then stitch together using an simple little free application from Microsoft called ICE. Once it has been stitched I then do some final adjustment in Photoshop and here are the end results.
