Winter In Glencoe

At this time of the year the sun is very low in the sky and it is often regard­ed as the best time to pho­to­graph the icon­ic Buchaille Etive Mor and the Three Sis­ters of Glen­coe. The entire area is often trans­formed into a win­ter wonderland.

Although we will be explor­ing the won­der­ful sur­round­ings of Glen­coe, this work­shop is not con­fined to one place and we will ven­ture into the high open land­scape of Ran­noch Moor, down Glen Etive with some of the best water­falls in the High­lands, and out to Glen Orchy and onto the banks of the mighty Riv­er Orchy that has cut deep gorges into the bedrock over thou­sands of years. 

We will also pho­to­graph on the banks of Loch Lev­en that offers some of the best views to the open­ing of Glen Coe and the banks of Loch Linnhe with views towards the Ard­na­mur­chan Penin­su­la. A work­shop in Glen­coe would not be com­plete with­out vis­it­ing Loch Achtri­ochtan nes­tled beneath the tow­er­ing moun­tains of Stob Coire nan Bei­th and Stob Coire na Lochan.

Because this is one of Scotland’s most pop­u­lar land­scape pho­tog­ra­phy loca­tions, Mark will also be work­ing with you to tease out your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and how you can ​‘see’ Glen­coe and its sur­round­ing areas in a dif­fer­ent way. Whilst we will all enjoy shoot­ing the clas­sic loca­tions, we believe there is always anoth­er aspect to be dis­cov­ered so that you put your own stamp on it!

You will have Mark Lawrence as your pho­tog­ra­phy work­shop leader. You will be spend­ing plen­ty of time out with your cam­era where you will get plen­ty of 1 to 1 tuition that will include both tech­ni­cal aspects of land­scape pho­tog­ra­phy as well as gain­ing a good ​‘eye’ for images along the way.

We know that Scot­land is a long way to trav­el for many pho­tog­ra­phers who dear­ly would love to vis­it Glen­coe so we are pleased to say we can offer you trans­port there and back from Pre­ston Train Sta­tion. Pre­ston is a west coast main­line sta­tion just over two hours from Euston, Lon­don. The col­lec­tion would be at 8am on the morn­ing of the 15^th of Jan­u­ary 2024 and from here you will be tak­en to our Glen­coe hotel. On the last day of the work­shop, you would be dropped off back at Pre­ston Sta­tion at approx­i­mate­ly 9pm. The cost of this trans­port will be £100 return.
