Rannoch Gold

by Ian Cameron

Gallery: LandscapePosted November 4, 20112,384 views14 comments
Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Scotland

Late autumn progresses inexorably toward winter and the first frosts which stiffen the golden grasses of Loch na Stainge on Rannoch moor. I am faced with a superb clear morning with not a breath of wind to disturb the mirror smooth surface and the whole scene is complemented by a laser blue sky flecked with cloud. Traditional landscape photography it most certainly is, but in idyllic circumstances like this there is no excuse not to do this wonderful scene full justice.

NEW!! Photographic workshops and masterclasses and fine art cards are now available at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

The gorgeous golden grasses against the blues is delightful Ian. I really like the crystal clear reflection as well. Beautiful work!

Absolutely stunning Ian, love the light and colour. The light dusting of snow on the peaks is lovely. Great timing too, I'm driving up there early tues for a few days. Here's hoping for similar conditions.

Cheers, Gary.

Ian, your natural presentation allows me an immediate experience of this scenery. I especially like the details in the foreground which invite me to follow into the depth of the composition.

Just beautiful Ian. You have really showed that traditional landscape photography can stand out on its own. So well exposed. :toast:

Beautiful - nice to see a natural imager, not super-saturated, over-processed and markedly changed from the original.
Congrats on the EP!
