So I ended up in Glencoe twice in the one week, first trip I didn't bother coming here as I knew when I came up on the Sunday my friends would want to stop here. That became an absolute definite after we ran into a snow storm on the way in which gave a nice fresh dusting of snow everywhere and was a total transformation from my trip on Wednesday, which was a beautiful Spring day.
Stob Dearg is part of the Buachaille Etive Mor up in the Glencoe area of the Scottish Highlands. This is my take on the classic kind of shot from here, got a bit more going on with the sky from last time I visited.

Buachaille Etive Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Eite Mòr, meaning "the great herdsman of Etive"), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille or The Beuckle, is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars. Buachaille Etive Mòr was also seen in the film Skyfall, where James Bond transported M away from the villain Raoul Silva. - Wikipedia

This over photographed iconic location looks good at any time of year but it was a privilege to be able to capture it in the snow.
Not much water, but i found an alternative for a nice shot ! Please click to ENLARGE. Thanks.

On my return visit to the 'famous' waterfall I was rewarded with 5 minutes of gorgeous light. And I had the place for myself for at least one hour.
Glen Coe, Scotland
I been wanting to get this shot for few years now, I missed out last time I was in Glencoe, but here it is now.

A freezing cold morning in Glencoe, the sunrise had been a tad disappointing but the light was still good and I'd already bagged a few shots upriver of crazy ice formations (see further back in my stream), there was still plenty of snow about from the previous day and a little bit of low cloud drifting across the Boochle.
I wasn't going to shoot this scene on this morning as I've shot it loads previously, but walking back from upstream and getting to this point it just looked so good it would have been rude not to! I'm really pleased with this one too as it does differ quite a bit from previous shots with the snow and low cloud drifting along.
I'd read somewhere online on a forum some guy was ranting on about using filters and silky water photo's being a 'cliche' and had been since the day the first ever one was taken haha, he had a proper bee in his bonnet about it!
Do what you like is my motto - and you can't really get more of a 'cliched' shot than this, with the location and slow water, I also have one of this location framed hanging on my lounge wall.
Cliché ? Maybe, but glad I stopped to take it.
Would it?

Sorry, Buachaille again. My love hate obsessional relationship with this mountain goes on. A slightly different take on the classic.
