Three Sisters

[Ken Rennie]

This is the Southern side of Glencoe. Although they look like separate mountains they are really spurs of the same 3,600 ft peak hidden from view until you are up beyond this first crest and not something that I am fit to tackle in the summer and definitely not the winter when fatalities but are not unknown. I should have taken this shot on my first day here when the entire valley had snow but I keep forgetting my own "rule" about getting the shot first and not waiting for it to improve. Ken

Found this more dynamic view taken from down by the river, the scrubby foliage spoils it for me though.

I like the earthen palette of the areas not covered in snow in the first image. The foreground in the second one seems a bit on the dark side - was that to hide the scrubby foliage? I do like the ominous mood of the clouds in that one.

Two very nice images. I like the first for the nicer foreground, but the view from half way up in the second is a knock out.

What a cool location Ken! I like the view in #1 the best, that wide sweeping view works well. I know I sometimes don't remember my "rules" until afterwards too, so I know what you are feeling. But with that said I think #1 looks great with the snow on the sisters and the valley clearer of snow. I think you might be a harsher judge on this because you could look back in retrospect as to what it could have been.

In #2, I like it quite a bit, I think we sometimes are too harsh about the dead brush areas sometimes, I know I am very critical about it in mine. You did the one thing though to help it not be distracting and that's to let them be darker so the bare branches get lost in the darkness.

Nice views both, like others I prefer the first one - wide views with brighter light.

Being a summer visitor to Scotland it’s nice to see images of this beautiful country in its winter colours.

Nice winter scenes, Ken.

Hi Ken,

I do prefer the first because of the dramatic visible snow line on the mountain and the light quality.
