Tim Parkin - Landscape Photographer

One of my goals when we I holidayed in Glencoe recently was to try to capture an original view of the sisters. Whilst on a walk along the old Glencoe road with my parents and wife, I noticed a couple of areas that can only be accessed by walking down the road, crossing a road barrier and climing down a slope of scree. This wasn't too hairy but obviously enough to prevent most people from going anywhere near and hence the area was almost pristine and incredibly lush due to being shaded from the sun and captuing the mist. The area was also beautifuly sculpted and after taking a couple of largely unsuccessful larger vistas, I tried to find a closer "semi-vista", a smaller scale I enjoy working within. The flow in this picture is what attracted me, the grasses swinging your eye around the bottom and then zig-zag slopes taking your eye up to the talus and then to the peaks. I had to play around trying to tuck the tree on the right below the peak but everything else fell into place niceley. My favourite picture of the year..
